Dental Charity Marks 10 Years Helping Homeless

Dentaid, a charity dedicated to providing essential dental services to individuals experiencing homelessness and hardship, is celebrating a significant milestone: its 10-year anniversary. The organization marked this occasion by returning to Dewsbury, the very site where its first clinic was established back in 2015.

Since its inception, Dentaid has grown substantially, now operating a fleet of mobile dental units. These units are set to conduct over 1,300 outreach clinics this year alone, offering crucial care like extractions and fillings to those who cannot access traditional dental services.

To further expand its reach and operate more sustainably, Dentaid also launched a new northern hub near Holmfirth. This initiative, utilizing 11 eco-friendly, self-sufficient mobile units powered by batteries and solar panels, aims to reduce emissions while bringing vital dental health services to more communities.
