Put your unwanted materials to good use

1 min read Volunteering
Time is running out for practices that want to make sure their unwanted dental restorations are used for a better purpose - supporting the more than 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.

Gold for Kids next ‘melt’ is taking place at the beginning of October 2022 but there is still time for those practices who want to support this worthwhile initiative to get involved. The melts recover the precious metals and turn them into bars, which are then sold to traders for cash. Gold for Kids then donate to selected children’s charities dedicated to improving the wellbeing and prospects of children in need.

It’s so simple to support Gold for Kids. Simply visit https://www.goldforkids.org/ and download your free welcome pack. This gives you all you need to get started:

Make sure that the small amount of money that you occasionally receive on unwanted or broken crowns, bridges, PFMs, PFGs or other precious or semi-precious material does good. Many dentists and dental professionals are unaware of the huge potential that the combined value of removed restorations represents, choosing to either ignore it, or retain it personally. However, to some children it can mean the chance of a better life.
