Hayley, a dental nurse at The Implant Centre, will be heading to Tanzania as a volunteer with the dental charity Bridge2Aid for two weeks on the 13th February 2012. 

Almost three quarters of the world's population have no access to the most simple dental pain relief, leaving billions to face a daily battle with pain in the toughest of life circumstances.

Bridge2Aid is working to address this terrifying problem, by providing access to dental pain relief for the millions of people suffering in the developing world. Bridge2Aid is the UK’s fastest growing UK dental charity working in developing nations.

In Tanzania, since 2002, Bridge2Aid has worked tirelessly to increase access to pain relief. Focussing on sustainability, and empowering local people to improve their own lives over the long term, Bridge2Aid has trained over 160* local health workers in emergency dentistry, and now train more than 50 health workers each year. This training has not only directly treated tens of thousands of people but has also extended access to emergency dentistry services to people living in the rural areas. An estimated 1.6 million people now live within reach of someone who can help them when they have dental pain.

"I am currently raising money for my trip to Tanzania by holding various fundraising events. All donations to 'just giving' are hugely appreciated by myself & the Bridge2Aid charity.
