2024 Dental Clinic

ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA

September 28 - October 5, 2024

Operation Walk Pittsburgh returned to Antigua, Guatemala, last year. Along with providing knee and hip replacement surgeries for patients in need, as we do each year, we were proud to partner with Dr. Michael Guthrie of Wexford Family Dentistry to offer our second-annual charity dental clinic.

Last year’s clinic was a big success, and we’d like to thank Dr. Guthrie, who accompanied us on the mission as our first “team dentist.” Over the course of three days, Dr. Guthrie, along with a local dentist and hygienist, provided low-income community members with a total of 98 procedures which included: 12 extractions, 26 cleanings, and 55 fillings…all at no cost to the patients!

Dr. Guthrie hopes to double this impact in 2024 and we plan to bring a second dentist to make it happen.

In partnership with Wexford Family Dentistry, we’re launching a fundraising campaign to support the purchase of critically needed dental supplies and medications that will be used during the clinic. All donations will directly support patient care and are tex-deductible. Our fundraising goal is $10,000, which will cover dental care for 60 patients. Below, you’ll see a few ways your donation can make a difference and give a needy patient a reason to smile.
