Changing lives through dental care
Dentaid The Dental Charity provides dental care and oral health advice for people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse.
Our work in the UK
Dentaid The Dental Charity helps people at risk of health inequalities who’ve been living with the misery of toothache and restores their self-esteem by giving them more confidence in their smile.
Our mobile dental units travel the country visiting soup kitchens, hostels and community centres with volunteer dental professionals providing dental treatment and oral health advice.
We support people experiencing homelessness, survivors of abuse, families living in poverty, vulnerable women, refugees, cancer patients and communities where vulnerable people are struggling to access dental care.
