Operation International Team Dental

Team Dental is a chapter of Operation International, a secular nonprofit that provides medical care to those in need in underserved countries. The team was founded in 2014 by two dentists who shared a long history of partnership and a commitment to volunteer work: Nilesh Patel and Amul Patel. Their work began with yearly missions to Haiti and have since taken trips to Ecuador, Uganda, Bolivia, and Tanzania, treating at times more than 1,000 patients in a single mission by setting up a full-service clinic in regions lacking regular dental care.
