 Australian Volunteers 

Earlier this month, Bridge2Aid Australia had their first training day in Adelaide with our new Australian Volunteers. They will be heading out to Tanzania on our dental training programmes in August 2019 and February 2020. Welcome to the Bridge2Aid family!!

 

Another team of volunteers arrive in Tanzania! 

Our May team of volunteers arrive at their first clinic in the Kishapu district ready to train Rural Health Workers skills in emergency dentistry.

Our brilliant co-founder Ian Wilson received his Certificate of Merit from the British Dental Association. This recognises his amazing contribution to the dental profession. We couldn't be more proud of what Ian has achieved and will no doubt continue to do. CONGRATULATIONS Ian, we're very lucky to have you!

We had another brilliant Dentistry Show this year! Thank you to everyone that came to our stand and got involved in the #togetherdental Great Escape From Pain- Escape Room! Thanks to our lovely sponsors, The Dentistry Show, A-dec, FTA Law, Dental Partners, Henry Schein, and Practice Plan for making it all possible. 

 

Rahabu's Story

This is Rahabu - she's been in agony for 3 years. We treated her during our dental training and she is now out of pain. Our training means that this kind of emergency dental treatment will be available for years after our team return to the UK.

As well as teaching extractions, we also deliver oral health education that aims to educate the Tanzanian people on the importance of good Oral hygiene.

Esther's Story

62 year old Esther cycled for over 3 hours to come to see us. She's been in pain for 3 years. She was massively relieved to get treatment and we're delighted that our work means she is free from pain again​.
