Christian Dental Society

Christian Dental Society’s mission is to show the love of Christ throughout the world by offering free dental services to those in need. Since its inception in 1963, CDS has provided volunteers, equipment and supplies with the objective of serving Christ as He instructed in the Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20 – “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

I-TEC

I-TEC’s focus is on enabling indigenous churches to overcome the technological and educational hurdles that stand in the way of their independence. Missionaries have long understood the value of technology, and they have employed every available tool to preach the gospel — from the machete to dental equipment to airplanes. But advanced technology is often impractical for use by a native church, where even the lack of electricity may be a concern. I-TEC aims to bridge that technology gap by equipping the indigenous church with technology suitable to their needs — technology that they can use and maintain with minimal outside support.

The I-Dent (Indigenous Dental Traning) program was designed to meet critical dental needs in places where there is no dentist; where there is no better alternative.

I-TEC's Portable Dental System (PDS) is a robust, fully articulating dental chair and battery-operated handpiece ‒ all in a package you can comfortably carry on your back. Setting a new world standard in truly portable dentistry, the I-Tec PDS is unlike other systems with its compact, 33-pound package.
