Fundraising for Revive A Smile

Revive A Smile is a New Zealand based dental charity established in 2011 by volunteer Endodontist Dr. Assil Russell and run by a team of dental health professionals. Revive A Smile aims to reduce oral health disparities experienced by disadvantaged & impoverished Kiwis. Revive a Smile provides much needed dental treatment, education and oral health products (such as toothpaste, tooth brush, floss and mouth wash). We treat various groups of the community including homeless persons, victims of domestic violence, refugee migrants, low income adults and the elderly. We aims to empower Kiwis to take control over their oral health by treating toothache and developing personal skills, enabling people to become active, healthy contributing members of society.

We operate our charity from mobile dental clinics and serve the north Island from Northland to the Waikato. Our mobile clinic in Hamilton was robbed recently and the thieves stole all our equipment and instruments including our AED, digital xray sensors, dental drills and handpieces, they have also damaged our dental chair and steriliser machines. This theft has forced us to close our clinic until we can repurchase and repair the damage. We are grateful to Waikato Police who are leading the investigation. Anyone with information about the theft can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

All donations will be put towards getting our clinic back up and running.

Thank you for helping us care for kiwis.
