We would like to wish a huge well done to our very own dentist, Hannah, on completing her recent dental trip to Uganda! 🇺🇬🦷🪥

Hannah and the team at Dentaid The Dental Charity treated an incredible 2,555 treatments across 11 clinics, with the majority of treatment being extractions.
Many patients had been suffering with toothache for years, with some experiencing pain for over 3 years and difficulties eating and even opening their mouths. 💔
The team also saw extremely high levels of decay, with many people unable to afford dental treatment. In some communities, local dental care was available but treatment was sadly being carried out without anaesthetic.
It’s amazing to hear about the difference Hannah and the team have been able to make, providing much-needed treatment, pain relief and oral health education to communities in need. ❤️
We are incredibly proud of you, Hannah! What an amazing and rewarding experience. 🥰👏🏼
2.555 treatments. 11 clinics. An incredible achievement! 🌍🦷
Hannah would like to thank everyone for their generous donations and support.
Thank you 💙

💜 Supporting good oral health when living with dementia 🦷
Looking after teeth and gums can become more challenging as dementia progresses, but there are simple ways family members and carers can help.
Here are a few things that may make a difference:
🪥 Keep a routine – try to brush teeth at the same time each day.
💧 Make it simple – use clear, gentle instructions and give plenty of time.
🤝 Offer support – if someone is struggling to brush independently, helping them may be needed.
🦷 Keep up with dental visits – regular check-ups can help spot problems early and keep the mouth comfortable.
💬 Tell your dental team – let us know if someone has dementia or if their needs have changed. We can adapt appointments and provide advice and support.
Most importantly, remember that oral care is about more than teeth — it's about comfort, confidence, dignity and quality of life. 💜

🦷 MISSED APPOINTMENTS — THEY REALLY DO MATTER
We understand that sometimes things happen and you can’t make your appointment.
However, when an appointment is missed without notice, that time could have been offered to another patient who may have been waiting for treatment.
This August, we have had:
❌ 83 appointments missed
⏰ 33.2 hours of clinical time lost
👥 82 patients involved
That’s over 33 hours of valuable appointment time that could have been used to see patients who need our care.
If you can’t attend your appointment, please let us know 24 hours before.
Even a quick phone call gives us the opportunity to offer the appointment to someone else.
Please help us make the most of every appointment. 💙
Thank you to all our patients who let us know when they’re unable to attend — we really do appreciate it.

💜 September is World Alzheimer’s Month 💜
This month, we’re raising awareness of dementia and highlighting something that can sometimes be overlooked — oral health. 🦷
For someone living with dementia, everyday tasks such as brushing their teeth, remembering dental appointments or recognising changes in their mouth can become more difficult.
Good oral health is an important part of overall health, comfort and wellbeing. With a little extra support from family, carers and dental professionals, we can help make looking after teeth and gums easier.
💜 If you care for someone living with dementia, your support can make a real difference to their comfort, dignity and quality of life.
