Our CEO, Natalie Bradley founded in.Dent after encountering more and more people who found it difficult to access dental services. She says:

''I am passionate about enabling access and improving the oral health of vulnerable and marginalised groups. I have had experience working with these groups with my NHS roles and also with charities, but from these experiences I feel more needs to be done to create sustainable and impactful models of dental care to future-proof the needs of these homeless and vulnerable groups''

in.Dent aims to create upstream approaches in improving the oral health of homeless and socially excluded groups by:
  • Creating a socially inclusive oral health network across the UK
  • Encouraging dental providers and organisations to be socially inclusive and provide education to the workforce on how to achieve this
  • Integrating oral health in the provision of health and social care for marginalised groups
  • Collaborating with organisations to provide oral health care events for marginalised groups
  • Delivering oral health services directly in the community with the use of mobile dental clinics by using a proportion of our profits to fund additional mobile dental clinics
