Oral health aid charity Dentaid is running a unique CPD Day at King's College London on Saturday 15th October 2005. Three speakers will be giving five hours of quality, verifiable CPD on a range of topical and clinically useful subjects, with all proceeds going to improve oral health in the developing world.

Martin Kelleher, consultant in Restorative Dentistry at Guys, Kings & St Thomas's, will be speaking on 'The Worn Tooth? The Whole Tooth? Or Nothing of the Tooth? So help me!', in which he will be teaching hot tips in the latest restorative techniques.

Kevin Lewis, associate editor of Dental Practice and dental director of Dental Protection, will be lecturing on 'Reasons to be cheerful?' in relation to the current dental industry and Mark McGurk, head of the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Guy's Hospital, will be lecturing on 'Diagnostic Dilemmas in the Mouth and Jaws.' The speakers are giving their time for free with all proceeds from the day going towards Dentaid's work in improving oral health in the developing world. Dentaid is a UK based registered charity, started in 1996. The charity has supplied specialist aid and support to over 100 dental and oral health projects in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

Resourcing charitable dental clinics, supporting and encouraging school prevention programmes, training key personnel and providing culturally appropriate oral health for under-served and marginalised communities are just a few of the ways the charity is working. As part of the CPD Day, Dentaid's Chief Executive Luke Wordley, will also be making a short presentation about oral health in other parts of the world and Dentaid's work.
