Supporting Leicester’s homeless people with expert dental support

The Bridge Homelessness to Hope teams up with the Doncaster Road Dental Practice to provide dental support for guests of the charity.

Staff from the Doncaster Road Dental Clinic

At a free clinic, held at Doncaster Road Dental Practice on 31 January 2026, 12 guests from The Bridge Homelessness to Hope were checked by staff from the Doncaster Road Dental Practice and helped with a range of common dental problems including toothache, gum problems, bleeding gums, abscess and broken teeth. Treatments provided ranged from radiographs, extractions, oral hygiene, restorations and oral prophylaxis.

“At Doncaster Road Dental Practice, we believe everyone deserves care, dignity, and support. This event is our small way of giving back to those in our community who need it most.”

Urvi Bhawsar, Principal Dentist at Doncaster Road Dental Practice.

“We’re indebted to the support of the expert team from the Doncaster Road Dental Practice who generously gave their time to support our guests. The guests are not always able to access traditional dental services, so this provided an ideal opportunity to be seen and treated for any ongoing problems.”

David Fawcett, Chief Executive at The Bridge Homelessness to Hope.
