In 2011, Dr. Maria Loukas traveled to the Dominican Republic to provide dental services to the children of a nearby school and orphanage in the slums of the Dominican Republic. The trip was a week long and focused on hygiene and prevention.

Dr. Maria mostly performed cleanings, sealants, and extractions for the children. Many of them did not have the proper knowledge of how to keep their teeth clean, they were grateful the team showed them proper techniques and a more efficient ways of taking care of their oral hygiene.
