Our priority is to address root causes and take people out of dental pain. Dental Mavericks also participates in cutting-edge medical research in collaboration with leading dental institutions. In all areas of Dental Mavericks’ activities, we champion an ethos of high-quality care that is patient-led and dignified.

Our Core Values
Sponsor A Nurse
It’s unfortunate that many nurses face financial challenges that limit their ability to take trips or vacations. Nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare system, providing essential care and support to patients, and dentists. In the meantime, it’s essential for clinics to show appreciation for nurses’ dedication and hard work, sponsoring them to help such causes as Dental Mavericks is a great way to help a dedicated nurse, help many people in dental pain and help promote your business all in one go.
2030 UN Agenda For Sustainable Development
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.
They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Oral health of refugees and vulnerable communities is an essential part of the general health and is promoted by Dental Mavericks through the following SDG goals:
SDG 1 No Poverty
We reduce out-of-pocket payments by refugees and vulnerable communities for dental care and we reduce their health vulnerability linked to economic, social and environmental events.
SDD 3 Good Health And Well-Being
SDG 10 Reduced Inequality
We recognise that migration is a determinant of health and can expose refugees to multiple health risks during all phases of the migration process. Our policies respect refugees right to health to ensure equitable access to health services including dental services.
SDG 17 Partnerships For The Goals

the team was lovely and so friendly, and i will recommend all the dentist to try this amazing experience,
till the next one, see you soon team ❤️❤️😘😘.
We took the ferry over to Tangier and then travelled on to Chefchouene where we stayed for 3 days. I helped out with the oral hygiene, applying the flouride to the children and sitting with them after they'd had extractions. I was amazed at how brave these children are.
If I ever have the opportunity of returning then I wouldn't hesitate. Thank you Team Dental Mavericks, the work you do is amazing xx
I didn’t know much about this country, and most of the news from there is related to refugees. Anyway, upon arrival we received a warm welcome from Basima and her relatives. We were to spend the next week at her house and from the minute we set foot inside we were made to feel part of the family.
My task on the trip was to take pictures, so I was able to observe as much as I wanted. What I saw was a country in a really harsh situation, but with people resolved not to lose their smiles or their will to improve their situation.
During the trip we visited several places. A school founded by an NGO focused on Syrian refugee kids’ education. The clinic, where the professional team of Gina (nurse) and Anna (dentist), the two other volunteers, would perform treatments to anyone in need showing up at the door. And an orphanage, full of buzzing kids playing around, laughing and eager to get a picture of themselves.
In all these places I found nothing but kindness and gratitude. From the kids, from the teachers, from the patients and from the people involved on the project. I can’t recommend the experience enough to anyone willing to help and ready to receive a dose of reality.
I can genuinely say that this trip has been AMAZING from start to finish. Every moment, every second. 💫
I had no idea what to expect but it has surpassed any expectation I ever could have had. I’ve learned so much 🥰
I have met people who are truly beautiful inside and out that have fully embraced me, I have seen a different way of life and can only hope to see more of and continue to learn about in the future. The work ethic of these people is like nothing I have ever come across before. 👏🏽
I will forever be thankful for this opportunity can not wait for more in the future. 🙏🏼
A special thank you to Gina Louise Goddard Cally Gedge Amin and Manar for everything this week from making me feel so comfortable to having me belly laughing all day long.
My heart belongs to you dentistry and the dental mavericks particularly! ♥️
