Hip-hop comes to dentistry in support of mental health

Dubbed ‘The poet of our time,’ Samantics blends spoken word, multiple instruments, and a loop station to deliver his unique and powerful sound which speaks of his own very personal experiences with mental health.

As an early adopter of the ‘Mental Health Wellness in Dentistry’ framework, TDP is taking a lead in supporting the mental health of its entire dental team. The idea for the fundraiser came to Ian Mills, Torrington Dental Practice partner, when he saw Sam perform at the Roundhouse in London in September.

“I was blown away by Sam’s fresh and thought-provoking sound and asked him if he would be interested in performing at the practice to raise awareness of dental mental health,” Ian explained. “The evening was conceived not only as a fundraiser, but as a thank you to our team for their hard work and commitment through what has been a difficult 20 months for us all. Sam’s songs are heartfelt but also very funny and well observed, so there is plenty to laugh along to, as well as think about.”
