The SPEAR Open Wide Foundation is a force of dentists and industry leaders who have committed to making a lasting change in developing countries. We bring lasting change to the state of oral health in under served communities through the development of sustainable clinics, built in conjunction with the communities they serve by:
- Working in partnership with local governments to set up dental clinics in under-served areas where no access to skilled dental care exists.
- Facilitating the logistics of trip planning for dentists and their groups who want to volunteer in the clinics.
- Organizing and transporting donated dental equipment and supplies to the communities we serve.
- Working in partnership with local dental universities in the communities we serve to provide training and mentoring opportunities for the next generation of dentists.
Sustainability Plan: Clinic protocols are established and a 4 Phase Plan is followed to define the readiness of a clinic to operate independently.
The 4 Phases are:
Phase 1: Mission/Outreach
Phase 2: Restorative Care – Basic
Phase 3: Restorative Care – Expanded
Phase 4: Clinic Administration
As the clinic is ready to be transferred over to the community, Open Wide will identify another location and start up in a new community. After the clinic transition, Open Wide will continue to collect data to measure the impact of the clinic on the oral health in that area.
