Urgent Dental Care Training Clinic

Hi, my name is Sohair.

I am a dentist and a certified trainer and work for a practice in London, which started a small dental charity to provide dental procedures in Sierra Leone (SL). We chose SL as it is one of the poorest countries in the world.

The team and I will be travelling to Sierra Leone in May for 3 weeks, and we will be providing dental treatment mainly to the rural population.

There are no dental facilities accessible to the rural population, resulting in people developing chronic infections, significantly impacting their health. These chronic infections can be prevented through early basic intervention. We aim to precisely do this so that minor problems can be resolved before chronic conditions develop.

I will be assisting the dental charity in establishing a local urgent dental care and training centre for the population and training some locals in dental procedures. These trainees will then be able to be certified by the medical board in SL. This, of course, has the benefit of developing longer-term locally sourced dental treatment and giving the trainees an income stream to continue the clinics.

The UK dentists involved in this charity provide their expertise free of charge, and all expenses associated with personal travel and living are also paid for personally by the dentists. No charity money is used for this purpose. All charitable donations will be used to assist the local population directly.

Your generous donations will help us to help the local population.
