[Optident and Ultradent are proud to continue their support of international charity Dentaid](https://blog.optident.co.uk/working-with-dentaid-to-make-a-difference-ultradents-enamelast-treats-patients-in-cambodia) in their mission to improve the world’s oral health. Thanks to their donation of fluoride varnish units and volunteers working with the Dentaid team; hundreds of children living in poor and remote communities will have healthier teeth. Throughout 2019 their donation has reached thousands of children in poor and remote communities, offering many with their only chance to see a dentist; and a valuable chance to learn about oral education. In many of the countries the outreach team visited, such as Uganda and Morocco; the daily diet of the local children is high in sugar, leading to widespread dental decay. Volunteers from the overseas outreach team treated those in need with Enamelast fluoride varnish; an excellent preventative adjunct to the essential dental care provided. To date, the team have treated a total of 828 patients in Uganda, 1450 patients in Morocco, 340 patients in Cambodia, 700 patients in Malawi, and 353 patients in Kenya. **Children queue to receive Enamelast treatment in Kenya** **A young child receives Enamelast fluoride varnish treatment in Kenya** **Enamelast Fluoride treatment in Uganda** **A young child receiving Enamelast fluoride varnish treatment in Uganda** **Application of Enamelast fluoride varnish in Uganda** The dental outreach team have worked tirelessly at each posting to ensure every child has been seen, treating both children and adults in busy clinics; receiving letters of thanks and praise for their work and the service Dentaid has provided. ## Making a Difference with Enamelast As many Ugandans can’t afford basic dental care, Enamelast will prove invaluable in the fight against further dental decay. Speaking of the donation Jacqueline James, Dentaid's overseas project manager noted: #### *“We are extremely grateful to both Optident and Ultradent for this valuable donation of fluoride varnish which means our volunteers and partner dentists will be able to protect thousands of teeth. Dentaid works in many of the poorest and most remote parts of the world where access to dental care is extremely limited. Therefore, protecting children’s teeth and educating them about oral health is very important.”  * **Jacqueline James, Dentaid’s Overseas Projects Manager** Marketing Manager for Optident, Rebecca Haworth-Johnson added: ‘We are proud to donate 1200 units of the popular Enamelast fluoride varnish. This will go a small way to help Dentaid’s mission providing much needed dental care for vulnerable communities globally. As both Optident and Ultradent pride themselves on enabling dentists to provide the best level of dental care for patients, our contact with Dentaid is a humble reminder that many people do not have access to the most basic dental care. It is a privilege to contribute to an organisation that strives to help those most in need, and we are impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication Dentaid bring to their wide-ranging initiatives’. ## About Dentaid [Dentaid](https://www.dentaid.org/) was founded in 1996 and works to improve oral health around the world.
