Dr. Seiden went with a group, called Global Volunteers, in November 2001 to Quito, Ecuador. He treated handicapped and mentally impaired orphans and children from underprivileged families.
In August 2008, he travelled to Papua New Guinea and joined the medical/dental team on the naval medical ship, USNS Mercy. With the ship serving as his floating dormitory, Dr. Seiden took daily trips ashore to provide much-needed dental care to the native islanders.
Ultimately, Dr. Seiden would like to create and head an organization that can send dentists into areas of great dental need throughout Africa, and possibly beyond.
Another idea that he has is to create a mobile dental unit that can travel into small villages throughout Africa to educate and treat both children and adults.
