Our volunteers aren’t just the heart and soul of our clinics — they’re the backbone of our work! Bringing free dental care and health screenings to underserved communities only happens because of compassionate professionals like you. When you share your time and talent to help people who have no other way to get care, you’re making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.
If you are a dental or medical provider — including dentists, dental assistants, hygienists, nurses, or physicians — with a current state license to practice your profession, please apply to volunteer now!
If you would like to volunteer in a non-clinical role to support the clinic’s operation, we would love to hear from you! Please apply to volunteer now.
Thank you for considering volunteering with Medical Teams! We are excited to partner with you.

We’re dedicated to expanding access to health care for underserved communities — and you can help! If you’re a current volunteer dentist, consider becoming a credentialed provider with Medicaid.
When you become a credentialed provider with Medicaid, you’ll help grow our program so more people can get emergency dental care. Credentialed provider encounters increase revenue that supports the expansion of Care & Connect Mobile Health. Additionally, when a credentialed provider makes a claim to Medicaid for a patient, the patient is automatically connected to long-term care through a statewide Medicaid hub.
You know the need is great — help us serve more people in need in our community!
Become a credentialed provider with Medicaid. It’s quick, easy, and will help you have an even greater impact on the health of people in our own backyards.
