B2A Dental
Why Dental?
In the UK: 1 dentist to every 2,100 people.
In Tanzania: 1 dentist to every 300,000 people!
Bridge2Aid are working at grass roots level in the heart of Mwanza, a city in the north of Tanzania, providing effective dental care and treatment to all the local communities.
Working alongside the Tanzanian government, we are addressing the urgent issues of:
Lack of treatment in rural areas
Most trained personnel are in cities but up to 90% of the population live in rural areas.
Providing education
Many get seriously ill or even die after attempting to extract teeth themselves.
Equal access for all
Hope Dental Centre, set up and run by B2A, serves all members of the local community regardless of race or wealth.
Hope Dental Centre

|
Hope Dental Centre is our fully equipped clinic in the busy centre of Mwanza, Tanzania. It operates on a unique self-funding basis. The centre provides a wide range of high quality dental services with affordable prices, meeting the oral health needs of all members of the Mwanza community.

The dental surgeon works for an agreed, capped salary. All the costs of running the centre, including the dentist's capped salary, are met from the fees charged. All profits made from providing these services are used for the charitable purposes of Bridge2Aid Tanzania. |

Mobile Dental Service
Alongside the clinic-based care we also offer a Mobile Dental Service. We regularly fly a mobile dental unit to remote mining communities and use our Dental Van to educate and treat children in local schools and orphanages.
We aim to make a big difference to the lives of the people of Mwanza; a little goes a long way. For example, just £5 will pay for emergency dental care, treatment and medicine for a member of the street community. Will you help us to help others?
