There is a desperate need to tackle oral disease, infection and chronic pain throughout the developing world - to enable people to work, attend school and care for families. We teach skills that mean local people are able to function free from pain, and avoid preventable infections and diseases.

Story

Hi everyone!

My name is Angela and I am a dentist working in Witney, Oxfordshire.

I am going to be travelling to Tanzania in November 2019, along with a team of dentists and dental nurses, as volunteers with the charity Bridge2Aid.

Bridge2Aid is a charity that provides training to local rural clinical officers. This training is aimed at enabling these officers to provide emergency dental treatment to patients who have no access to a dentist and would have otherwise been left in pain for an indefinite amount of time.

Taking part in this dental volunteering programme is an opportunity to change the lives of thousands of people who currently suffer from debilitating dental pain with no hope of treatment.




Bridge2Aid  vision:

''Across the developing world, people live in inescapable, excruciating pain because they lack access to emergency dental care.

We train rural-based health workers in developing countries, providing them with the skills, equipment and resources that they will need to provide emergency dental care in a world where over 70% of the population currently do not have access to even basic dental treatment.

The ultimate goal of Bridge2Aid is to enable training in emergency dental care for health workers in all remote rural communities of developing countries.

Our vision is a world free from dental pain.''
