In the UK, Dentaid provides free dental care for homeless and vulnerable people.
The charity’s mobile dental units visit hostels, day centres and night shelters providing emergency treatment for people who find it difficult to access dental care.
They provide dental care in areas where people are struggling to find a dentist and run clinics for refugees and asylum seekers, head and neck cancer patients, veterans, children in areas of social deprivation and victims of domestic violence.
Dentaid’s BrightBites oral health education programme are also run in schools across the UK.
In 2021 the Randal Charitable Foundation provided grant funding towards 13 mobile clinics to attend emergency clinics throughout the UK at both existing and new locations.
Dentaid also works overseas in more than 70 countries to provide safe, sustainable dental treatment in poor and remote communities.
The charity supports dentists around the world by providing equipment, running oral health programmes and sending teams of volunteer dental professionals to help them reach more patients.
DentaidBoxes are a fully portable dental surgery that can be used to provide care anywhere in the world.
