Mission Trips

The MDA has created this page to provide information about Dental Mission trips that either originate in Missouri or, if they do not, are a mission trip that a MDA member (or group of members) participates in and thus has a personal connection with.

The goal of the page is to house information for Mission trips if MDA members are interested in participating. The MDA does not endorse for any program listed. Listings are for information only.
