My Dentaid Box is ready for collection

My brand new Dentaid box is ready for collection from Dentaid Head Office near Salisbury, complete with a secret new addition. So I will go and visit Dentaid on Friday afternoon, and post some pictures. can't wait.

Thank you Dental Directory

Many thanks to the Dental Directory for their kind donation of gloves,local anaesthetic and dental needles for me to take to Uganda. It is much appreciated. Thank you

The Dentaid Box

The Dentaid box is a wonderful invention. It is basically a large wheelie bin which contains a collapsible dental chair, which was specially designed for Dentaid. Because they are often used in rural locations without electricity the box contains a portable suction unit and operating light, both of which can be run by mains electricity, battery or solar power. Instruments need sterilising between patients, this is done in a normal pressure cooker, which can be heated on a gas ring, or even open fire! Included in the box are also normal consumables, such as gloves, masks and scrubs, as well as dental instruments.

Funds for first dentaid box!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
I am delighted to be able to tell you that I have now raised enough money to purchase the first Dentaid Box Portable surgery to take with me to Uganda. Thank you to every one who has donated, including Fordingbridge and Ferndown Rotary clubs, Martin Haines at Dental Financial Services and Chris Barrow at 7Connections.
Also thanks to Premier Dental Supplies for a donation of consumables to take with
I still have promises of more money coming in, so my sights are firmly set on a second box as well. So if you haven't donated then please follow the link to my BT MyDonate page, every penny helps. Thank you
