AFC Totton
Dentaid: The Dental Charity has been proudly chosen as AFC Totton’s Charity of the Match for the fixture against Weston-super-mare, shining a light on the crucial work it delivers across the UK.
Founded with a mission to provide dental care and oral health advice for people experiencing homelessness, poverty, abuse, and other forms of hardship, Dentaid is helping to bridge the gap for those most in need.
While based locally in Totton, the charity’s impact extends far beyond its home base. Using specially equipped mobile dental units, Dentaid travels across the country to deliver outreach dental clinics, ensuring that even the most vulnerable people in our communities can access essential treatment. From relieving pain to restoring dignity, these clinics make an extraordinary difference in the lives of people who may otherwise go without care.
Closer to home, Dentaid runs a variety of projects across Hampshire that aim to reduce oral health inequalities. The charity’s BrightBites programme is a standout initiative, providing vital oral health education to school-aged children. By visiting schools, after-school clubs, and community groups, Dentaid helps teach young people how to look after their teeth and mouths — setting them up with lifelong healthy habits.
Through compassion, mobility, and education, Dentaid the Dental Charity is transforming smiles and lives. Their dedication to tackling health inequalities ensures that no one is left behind when it comes to dental care.
To support their work and help bring dental care to more people in need, donations can be made via their website at www.dentaid.org or by following them on social media at @dentaid.charity and @dentaidthedentalcharity
