Project Fee

Jamaica* (including Sealant Project), Turks & Caicos, Grenada & St. Lucia: $900 USD + your airfare

Returning volunteers who apply AND pay during “Priority Boarding” pay $875 USD

*New in 2021, the government of Jamaica has mandated professional registration fees for all dentists and hygienists. These fees will be added to dentist and hygienist 1000 Smiles project fees.

Dentists: $900 project fee + $100 MOH fee = $1000 USD

Hygienists: $900 project fee + $40 MOH fees = $940 USD

If you are a returning dentist or hygienist you will still receive a $25 discount during “Priority Boarding.”

The world’s largest, international, humanitarian dental project.

It’s just such a wonderful experience. The music, the food, the people, everyone’s heart just opening to welcome us and us to them as well. It’s just a wonderful exchange and I recommend it to anyone.
