Oral Health is the window to general health but a much neglected space in India due to inaccessible treatment options ,repeated appointments, cost of treatment Treatment options are compromised especially for the Urban slum and Rural areas .Dant Pari would like to partner with existing Charitable setups already doing great work in the Oral Health Care space. They may have challenges to upgrade their facility due to various reasons like infrastructure ,HR , non-availability of Dental laboratory tie up. Dant Pari will help hand hold these set ups and provide assistance to revamp them.
In India, Dental Auxillary i.e Chair side Dental assistant, Dental Lab Technician as a workforce has never been a structured ecosystem and a vacuum much needed to be filled specially with Dentistry going the next level .All Dental Practises have the need for a good well trained, affable Dental Chairside Assistant DA (Auxiliary).They are the back bone of any Dental Practise. In India we do not have a formal training for DA which could be very difficult for a practise as it involves lot of time and energy to train.
We train Girls/Women High School Graduates from Low socio economic strata in a 6 month DA programme. These Girls receive theory and Practical Training over the 6 months and are well equipped with basic to moderate levels of clinical assistance in Dental Setup. Help to create women empowerment by giving them a semi-professional Healthcare skilling. The training hybrid mode of training with both online and offline classes, especially for students outside Delhi.
We would like to partner with various Charitable Medical set ups that have a Dental clinic running or planning to start and are keen to revamp to help provide high quality but accessible and affordable Oral Health options to the communities around them.
We also would like to reach out to NGO’s working to provide vocational training and who would like to consider Dental Assistant training as a good semi professional option for their girl students.
