Mr Munaf Qayyumis the owner and principle dentist at High Ash Dental Surgery in Leeds, who is giving up his Wednesday afternoons to transform the smiles of the city's underserved communities.
It’s crucial to maintain good dental hygiene but for people living on the streets it’s virtually impossible. They're often left in severe pain with health complications and no way out. Much like every dentist surgery at the moment High Ash Dental has a high waiting list due to the backlash of the coronavirus pandemic.
"We work alongside St George's Crypt and Homeless Street Angels to get those in need in on a Wednesday afternoon, they are treated just the same as any other patient when they come here. "I usually take two or three of our clients on a Wednesday. It's life changing for them, they dont just get their smile back they get their confidence and pride back."
