MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC
The Smile for Change is our fully equipped, mobile dental clinic, offering free, essential services to those in need. By making dental care accessible in this way, we hope to reach individuals who might not otherwise have access to such services. This is a first-of-its-kind initiative that merges healthcare with mobility, taking a vital service directly to those who need it most.
APPOINTMENTS
Appointments will be made via referrals from Driving for Change locations.
Please note that unfortunately, the bus is not wheelchair accessible and is unsuitable for individuals unable to climb stairs.
CONTACT
For Smile For Change enquiries, please contact Mohamed Beegun, Head of Clinical and Strategic Operations.
