Smile! You're on the Dental Team!

A smile represents an expression of our emotion of happiness and joy. It must be taken care of and maintained for the necessity of healthy living conditions. On this 7G mission trip, there is also the dental team. This will be the second year of the dental program, lead by cosmetic and family dentist, Dr. Timothy Bui.

He then graduated from the Las Vegas Institute for advanced cosmetic dental studies, one of the nation's premier post-graduate training facilities found by Dr. William Dickerson, the internationally well-known cosmetic dentist. He has been providing high level quality care as cosmetic, sedation family dentist for over 25 years. He was even nominated as the best cosmetic dentist in Newport Beach in 2011.

On the 7G mission trip, he will lead the dental program, with the help of a selected team of 7G goers. In addition, they will be working with the local dental students, showing the integration of American and Vietnamese dental care. This is an exciting year for the dental team as well because Dr. Bui has expanded the program now to have three new portable dental kits in comparison to the one dental kit from last year. These kits will allow Dr. Bui and his team to provide optimal care for his patients when we have the medical clinics in the rural villages of Vietnam. The 7G dental team catch a glimpse as to the importance of proper dental care.

It is our honor and privilege to work with Dr. Bui, as he teaches the students about the proper dental care that is important in our 7G mission trip. He holds the highest standards when it comes to his care; whether it is in the United States or Vietnam, he demonstrates that dental care has no nationality. He emphasizes the importance of global care, as dental care is just as important as medical care. Overall, the dental team plays an important role when it comes to the medical clinics in Vietnam. Even though it is only the second year of the dental program, there is much promise for what is ahead for the dental team. We just smile thinking about it.
