Dental Elective Reviews

"It was definitely an incredible experience! The healthcare system I observed during my placement in Sri Lanka differed significantly from my experiences in the UK. I am really thankful to the Work the World team and the staff at the hospital".

"I saw a patient who had developed a brain abscess from a long-standing tooth infection. This was very memorable, as cases are often not presented this late in the UK".

"I was able to see some oral cancers at the OMF clinic which was useful as I had been taught what they might look like but I had never seen any cases in real life."

"We visited ancient squares and temples, like Durbar Square, and went to see the view from the top of Chandragiri Hills. It was incredible."

"A lot of the time we were working with no x-rays. This meant a lot of procedures, such as extractions for example were kind of performed blind."
