The appeal has received an initial £1000 donation from Working Feedback, the patient feedback system used by dental practices.
Dentaid’s mobile dental units travel the UK providing outreach dentistry for people who face practical, emotional, physical and financial barriers to accessing dental care. Many patients have not seen a dentist for years or have experienced long-term pain or damage to their mouths. The charity provides dental treatments, whilst being mindful of a patient’s mental health, trauma, addiction and past experiences with the healthcare system.
The charity said that this time of year can be especially tough for people suffering from dental pain who have nowhere to turn. For those experiencing homelessness and vulnerable people who are already facing health inequalities, being unable to access dental treatment can have a detrimental impact on their wellbeing and general health.
