The complex and intricate movements of the jaw play a vital role in our daily lives, facilitating speech, chewing, and various facial expressions. However, when these movements are compromised due to underlying jaw diseases, individuals can experience severe discomfort and diminished quality of life. In response to this challenge, a team of researchers is pioneering a ground-breaking digital system that aims to revolutionise the analysis of jaw movements and potentially enable early detection of jaw diseases. We gifted 100 mirrors and tweezers to Dr. Farook in support of his groundbreaking research, empowering him with the resources he needs to make significant contributions to his field.

The group arranges overseas volunteer missions to provide medical health services to improve the wellbeing in the community.
We became aware of the organization through a customer who was a volunteer for the 2017 trip. Raising funds and supplies via crowdfunding, she approached us for a donation of our sterile instruments which we were happy to provide.
Upon arriving in Vanuatu, the team visited Mangaliliu village where conditions to perform dental screenings were challenging. The lack of electricity and the inability to sterilize equipment did not deter the team from treating around the 130 officially recorded patients and hundreds of school children. If you would like to get involved and assist the organization with their work, you can contact the team at onesaltwater@bigpond.com and to find out how we make a difference to the dental industry visit our charities page.
