Dental Clinic
Many people go several years with out a visit to the dentist's office, but imagine going your whole life with out ever seeing a dentist. That was the reality of the people living along the Rio Negro.

Since the opening of the Bob Borland Dental Clinic, we have given communities along the middle Rio Negro an opportunity they otherwise would never have had. Our clinic is staffed by volunteer dentists who spend part of their time working on people and the rest fishing for peacock bass. These trips are offered at half price with the money donated to the foundation.

Our clinic is well equipped with the only x-ray machine in the middle Rio Negro region, and all the necessary equipment for routine dental work. This is thanks to the generous donations of others, but much is still needed to continue operating through out the year. With your help we can continue offering free dental work to those in need.
