The programme
Three core sessions teach the work of a prevention-focused dental team — screening children at school, assisting at the chair, and keeping instruments safe through the sterilisation chain — with a fourth session covering the front desk that holds the day together. The sessions were built inside the TradePath Training Centre, a ten-zone simulated training centre; the dental wing is its four dental zones.
Demo programme. These sessions are a demo program inspired by Unspoken Smiles' public work — not an official Unspoken Smiles program, not endorsed by or affiliated with Unspoken Smiles. All training is simulated: this programme is not certification, licensure, or clinical training, and no session counts as clinical hours.
Session 1 · Outreach Hub
The flagship session, fully playable in the VR clinic. Nine steps following the Zero Cavity workflow — screen → educate → refer — with no treatment in the field: set up the hall, check consent, welcome the class, teach brushing and fluoride, screen on the model, chart and log, then a visual quiz and debrief.

Session 1 in full →Session 2 · Dental Operatory
Working at the chair: set up the delivery unit, lay the tray in working order, run the four-handed assist sequence, and turn the room over. Grounded in CDC Standard Precautions and the four-handed dentistry method — transfer zone below the chin, never over the patient's face.

Session 2 in full →Session 3 · Sterilization
The one-way chain that keeps every other session safe: pre-treat → transport → ultrasonic clean → rinse → inspect → package → autoclave → store. One direction only, never backwards — in a graded run, a contamination event restarts the load.

Scheduling, charting and records, and insurance and billing basics. Check the patient in, confirm the chart and the appointment, record every change — the record is the handover. Patient records stay on the desk screen: never read aloud in the waiting area, never left unlocked.

How every session runs
A short theory card precedes each step, drawn from cited sources. A live checklist highlights the current step. Practice Mode is an open sandbox — hints on, nothing scored. Graded runs score the sequence itself: out-of-order actions are recorded as sequence faults with a stated consequence, and three faults end the run. Ratings (Bronze, Silver, Gold, All-Star) are play only — never a credential or a completion record.
Every station in the simulator runs the same seven-step progression, taken from the simulation literature rather than invented: progression is gated by demonstrated criteria, not time spent (the CODA model), and every run ends in a planned debrief (the INACSL standard).
Sources: INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice; Simodont deliberate-practice model (Dent J 2021); the six-station blueprint and this progression are documented in full on the Stations page.
The dental sessions are four zones of the TradePath Training Centre — ten simulated zones (electrical, solar, HVAC, plumbing, dental operatory, sterilization, dental reception, outreach hub, operations office, volunteer hall) carrying thirteen full sessions and a 70-skill demo registry, built for the NemulAI × Hack District demo. In the centre, each dental session also runs as a five-step guided scenario with a coach check at every station. The three Unspoken Smiles demo sessions are the Outreach Hub (Prevention & School Screening), the Dental Operatory (Chairside Assisting Basics), and Sterilization (Sterilization & Operatory Setup).
The same programme is playable today in the browser clinic — see the VR training page — and its tools, methods and credential pathways are published on the Resources page.
