Fundación Dentistas Sobre Ruedas

What Fundación Dentistas Sobre Ruedas does

Fundación Dentistas Sobre Ruedas (FDSR) is a Spanish nonprofit foundation (CIF G-16594707) headquartered in Palma de Mallorca that delivers free dental care to populations facing economic and social exclusion. Its flagship local program is the Clínica Dental Solidaria Coloma Vidal, inaugurated in November 2014 as the first solidary dental clinic in the Balearic Islands, complemented by a satellite clinic in Pollença and a school-based oral-health education program (Sonrisas sobre Ruedas). Care is accessed through referrals from municipal social services across more than 37 town councils and 21 partner social entities, with a dedicated project (Salut Dent Ment) extending services to people with mental health disorders.

Internationally, FDSR operates the Projeto Adama in Missirah, Senegal — a multi-function Casa de Salud housing a dental clinic, prosthetics laboratory, X-ray room, surgical theater (Quiròfan Jaume Mulet), optical workshop, and training classroom — and has expanded in 2024–2025 into Kenya via BAMBA Project and previously into Uganda optometry campaigns. The technology stack is standard dental clinic equipment augmented by digital surgical planning via Exocad-Exoplan for guided implant placement, with guided-surgery training delivered jointly with Neodent and Exocad.

The foundation is funded through donations from individuals and corporations, municipal subsidies from Mallorca town councils, and institutional grants from organizations including Fundació la Caixa, Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya, IMAS, and Fundación Othman Ktiri. All services are provided free of charge, with delivery reliant on 12 paid staff and a network of more than 100 volunteer dental professionals, hygienists, prosthetists, and auxiliaries, primarily from Spain, who participate in short-term missions. The foundation's geographic footprint currently spans Spain, Senegal, Kenya, and Uganda.

Fundación Dentistas Sobre Ruedas provides free dental care, optical services, and oral health education to people at risk of social exclusion and to vulnerable populations in developing countries. The foundation operates a network of solidary dental clinics in Mallorca (Clínica Dental Solidaria Coloma Vidal and a satellite clinic in Pollença) and an international cooperation project in Senegal (Proyecto Adama/Casa de Salud in Missirah), delivering restorative, preventive, prosthetic, and surgical dental services through volunteer dental professionals.

Product overview

Fundación Dentistas Sobre Ruedas operates a portfolio of charitable dental and oral health programs. Its flagship local initiative is the Clínica Dental Solidaria Coloma Vidal (founded November 2014), a free dental clinic serving people at social exclusion risk in Mallorca via municipal social services referrals. Complementing this is the Projeto Adama, a long-running international cooperation project in Missirah, Senegal, centered on a Dental Academy and Casa de Salud offering dental care, prosthetics, X-ray, and a surgical theater. The organization also runs Sonrisas Sobre Ruedas, an oral health education program for school children in Mallorca, and parallel Sensibilización África activities in African communities.

Together these programs deliver direct dental treatment, preventive education, prosthetics, and surgical care to vulnerable populations locally and internationally.
