  4. 260 projects in 60 countries

  5. The Oral Health Need...... • WHO estimate • 5.6 billion of • 7billion people on earth suffer from dental decay Dental decay is the most common chronic non communicable disease affecting the world today. That’s a lot of pain

  7. When there are no dentists... You seek help from a “street dentist”

  8. A much better way Dentaid supported Oral health outreach clinics like this in Kampong Cham Cambodia

  9. Dentaid Portable Chair Production of the chair was supported with grants for tools by Rotary Club of Romsey Test

  10. The “RotaryDentaidBOX” The next step Our Vision To provide a self contained package, containing all the key dental requisites of equipment and consumables, to enable a dental professional to deliver, in any locality in the developing world, basic oral health care and emergency treatment to those in need.

  14. Equipment. Feedback has been very positive The chair - Over 100 have been produced Welding of the aluminium - now done by a retired dentist in Bradford on Avon!

  15. Delivery of the basic package of oral care is improved enormously

  16. “RotaryDentaidBOX” Who will use it? • Trained oral health workers providing oral health care in remote locations where no fixed surgery facilities or services are available • Any oral health workers engaged in dental outreach programmes seeking to deliver the WHO’s basic package of oral care • Dental professionals working in a disaster response situation seeking to provide emergency oral health care.

  17. The size of the potential market is significant – the vast bulk of oral treatment must be carried out by those with limited formal training who currently have access to inadequate or virtually no dental equipment with which to provide this treatment. The actual number of dentists in Africa and Asia, where there is the greatest need for the box, is 206,630

  18. The first Rotary Dentaid Box is given to Foodstep, Uganda by Rotary Club of Kyengera The first patient – Miss Uganda
