In the heart of Ludhiana, a quiet revolution is happening—not in a factory or a boardroom, but in the small villages and government schools where healthcare often feels like a distant luxury. For many families, a visit to the dentist is only considered when pain becomes unbearable. Cost, distance, and a lack of awareness often stand in the way of a healthy smile.
The Baba Puran Singh Thind Medical Charitable Trust is changing that narrative through our “Mission Smile” initiative.
Bringing the Clinic to the Community
Our free dental camps are designed to dismantle the barriers to oral health. We believe that location or income should never dictate the quality of your healthcare. By setting up mobile units and temporary clinics in underserved areas, we provide:
- Comprehensive Screenings: Catching cavities and gum disease before they require expensive, painful surgeries.
- Preventative Education: Teaching children the “Circle of Brushing” to prevent future decay.
- Free Treatments: From basic extractions to complex procedures like Root Canal Treatments (RCTs) at no cost to the patient.
Focus on the Future: Mission Smile in Schools
The most impactful part of our journey has been our outreach to local schools. Children are the ambassadors of change. When a child learns that the dentist isn’t someone to fear, but a partner in their health, that knowledge travels back to their parents and grandparents.
Through our recent camps, we have screened thousands of students, providing not just check-ups, but also free braces consultations, ensuring that every child has the confidence to smile without hesitation.
“A smile is the shortest distance between two people. Our goal is to make sure that distance is never blocked by the inability to pay for care.”

Our mission grows stronger with community support. Whether you are a volunteer, a donor, or a local leader, you can help us reach the next village.
