Dental Directory is thrilled to support Dentaid once again for 2026, working alongside Bupa Dental Care to help deliver essential dentistry to global communities most in need.
Anna Russell, Director of the Bupa Foundation, commented:
“This partnership is something we’re incredibly proud of. It reflects our purpose of helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world.
“Over several years, we’ve been able to help increase access to dental care for people who often have no other options. From funding the new Northern Hubs near Leeds and in the North East of the UK to supporting a solar‑powered mobile clinic, we’re proud to back projects that break down barriers to essential healthcare, reduce impact on the environment and help create healthier communities.
“We’re delighted that this relationship has evolved to include the support of Dental Directory, who are kindly providing items to support Dentaid’s international volunteer trips in Uganda, Malawi and Cambodia.”
Both clinical and non-clinical professionals from Bupa Dental Care have been involved with Dentaid projects, with the below kindly volunteering their time for 2026:
- Emily Gill
- Cristina-Maria Pop
- Abigail Firmin
- Cody Drury
- Julie Pavey
- Summer Wilson
- Leonie Cappleman
- Sandar Win Wade
Dr Neil Sikka, Director of Dentistry at Bupa Dental Care, added:
“We’ve seen a growing number of clinicians who work with us getting involved in Dentaid projects. Volunteering with Dentaid gives our teams the chance to support vulnerable and hard‑to‑reach individuals in the UK and abroad. Volunteers often come away with new skills and fresh perspectives.
“Working with Dental Directory has been excellent. Their donation of supplies for international trips in 2025 and 2026 has equipped our volunteers to provide care in more challenging settings.”
Enabling this year’s volunteers to deliver crucial dental care, Dental Directory has once again donated thousands of pounds worth of products. These will enable the above professionals to perform essential procedures and get hundreds of people out of dental pain.
