To end the school year 2022-2023, the College of Dentistry Student Council, together with the faculty and staff, volunteer students and dentists, had their first Dental Mission with the theme: “A Dental Mission: Extending Dental Health Literacy by Providing Quality and Accessible Oral Health Care” at the community of Brgy. Alalasan, Lapuz, Iloilo City. The dental mission targeted children ages 5 years old to 11 years old to get their tooth extracted.

We would like to give appreciation to the following volunteer dentists:
