Dentaid is one of the leading oral health charities in the world, having supported almost 200 oral health programmes in over 50 countries. In recent years, the charity has expanded its work from supplying refurbished dental surgeries for charitable projects, to playing vital roles in oral health promotion such as establishing innovative school prevention programmes, and initiating various training schemes encompassing disciplines from equipping rural health workers to carry out basic dental care in remote communities to teaching governments on fluoride advocacy and writing national oral health strategies. Dentaid is also working hard to lobby governments, companies and health organisations to adopt more oral health friendly policies and practices.
