A shocking statistic is that 70% of the world’s population has no access to emergency dental care. If you were in agony, how would you cope?

Luke Barnett Dental Laboratory is delighted to have become a unity partner of the Bridge2Aid charity.  Luke explains, “I found that figure horrifying and tried to put myself in the position of a person with excruciating toothache, knowing nothing could be done. That galvanised me into doing something about it.”

By becoming a unity partner, Luke and his team are sponsoring the training of a Tanzanian Clinical Officer in Tanzania so that less people will have to face this nightmare in future. “I think that all successful businesses should give something back and help make a difference. In fact it has also helped inspire my team and give us all a focus away from the bench”, Luke noted.
