Every year, hundreds of people do amazing things to raise money for Bridge2Aid. Running through mud and over obstacles is great for some, but doesn’t suit everyone. Hannah Sutlow in Gloucestershire has been making tooth fairy bags for us for just over a year now. She says… “As a dentist, Bridge2Aid is a charity which is […]
We are very excited about extending DVP to a no fewer than three new regions in the next 3 months. In June we will be in Mororgoro and Tanga, and in July will move to the very far south east of Tanzania to Lindi Region. The Lindi project has been made possible by an introduction […]
We work very hard at Bridge2Aid to make the very best use of the money we’re entrusted with. If you’ve ever visited us in Mwanza or the office in Wotton-Under-Edge, you’ll know that we certainly aren’t flash! I am constantly impressed by how much the teams in both countries manage to achieve with the money […]
We are excited to be working at a Ministerial level on some developments with DVP. Following the visit of the Deputy Minister for Health on behalf of the President in October to our practical training and treatment programme in Mara Region, we have been in discussions about how to make the programme more widely available.

A post this week aimed mainly at non-dentist readers, but which I hope is an encouragement to dentists and the profession as well. There’s a great deal of ‘Dentist Bashing’ in the media at the moment it seems. Mainly coming from the Daily Mail from what I can see. Although a lot of this passes […]

I am so proud I could pop. A couple of weeks ago we ran our latest training and treatment programme in the Manyara region of Tanzania. Our practical training and treatment programmes create sustainable access to emergency dental treatment in rural areas. We treat the community for free, train local health workers how to extract […]
Twelve hours’ drive south east from Mwanza and you’ve barely covered a quarter of the length of Tanzania, yet it feels like a foreign land. “Sleepy Mbulu District” way up in the Rift Valley highlands, surrounded for much of year by clouds, to the east overlooking Tarangire National Park and to the north, the vast […]
The annual World Oral Health Day comes up again this Friday. If like me, you’re not a dentist, your response may well be ‘so what?’ It’s not an unexpected one given the level of other disease around the world. So why is Oral Health important? What I’ve observed over the past 12 years I’ve been […]
We frequently see just how much damage a lack of simple dental knowledge and access to basic treatment can do in rural communities.
