Sweet Charity

Back in 2005, Dr David Digges began volunteering for two weeks every year, providing emergency dental care to people in mountainous parts of Timor-Leste where there are no qualified dentists outside the capital. The owner of Sydney’s Bellevue Hill Dental remembers flying home from his first visit to Timor, asking himself what dental services were available to those in need in Australia. When he started talking to his staff and people working at organisations who deal with the homeless, or victims of domestic abuse, he soon realised many people could not access dental care.
