Would you like to Volunteer in Tanzania?

Around 75% of the world’s population has no access to even the most basic emergency dental care. In Tanzania, there are only 495 dental professionals for a population of 55 million people!

Be part of the solution!

Henry Schein Halas through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation have teamed up with Bridge2Aid launching in Australia! We are pleased to announce two scholarships for volunteering Australian Dentists and Dental Auxiliary Staff to volunteer with Bridge2Aid in Tanzania. Bridge2Aid originated in the United Kingdom and since 2004 have trained over 500 health workers, providing access to urgent care for more than 5 million people. For the first time in August 2019 they will send a full outreach of Australian dentists into the region and you could be one of them! To find out more about Bridge2Aid visit www.bridge2aid.com.au or to apply for one of the scholarships please request an application form by emailing scheincares@henryschein.com.au

Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
