Two dentist ran the Flora London Maratahon to raise money for treatments.

Two dentists recently ran the Flora London Marathon in a bid to raise money for emergency dentistry procedures for people in Tanzania.

Dr Katherine Opie-Smith and Dr Chris Waith ran in the 30th annual marathon on April 25th in order to raise money to help people who would otherwise be unable to receive treatments like bridges, dental implants and dentures.

Both have previously worked in Tanzania as part of Bridge2Aid’s Dental Volunteer Programme.

Dr Waith said: “All in all, it left me extremely tired and emotional but the thought of my gorgeous family Michelle and baby Dylan, who have supported me throughout, as well as those amazing people I met in Tanzania last year kept me going until the end.’

Elsewhere, Brits taking part in sports were recently advised they should invest in a mouth guard to help protect their teeth.

Dr John Roberson, a board-certified oral surgeon who practices oral and maxillofacial surgery in Hattiesburg, said that fractured teeth and other oral health problems can be avoided in this way.
