Dentaid The Dental Charity

Dentaid The Dental Charity provides dental care and oral health advice for people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse. Our 11 mobile dental units travel the UK providing outreach dental clinics for the most vulnerable people in our communities.

Our mission is to break down the barriers under-served communities face to accessing regular dental care and help people at risk of health inequalities who’ve been living with the misery of toothache and restore their self-esteem by giving them more confidence in their smile. We know that oral healthcare can help our patients move on to a new chapter in their lives.

We also support oral health education for school aged children through our BrightBites programme run by our amazing volunteers who visit schools and run fun and engaging sessions highlighting the importance of good oral health. Thanks to our generous supporters we are also able to supply each child with their own toothbrush and toothpaste to take home.
