Delft Dentists' Day 2026

Fifth Annual Delft Dentists' Day: Behind Every Smile Is a Story

On Saturday, October 3, 2026 De Delftse Tandartspraktijk is once again participating in National Dentist Day. On this day, dentists and oral health professionals throughout the Netherlands volunteer their time to help people who need essential dental care but cannot afford it due to financial circumstances.

We believe that good oral health is not a luxury. Pain, inflammation, or a broken tooth can affect your ability to eat, sleep, work, and socialize. That is why we are happy to contribute to this special initiative.

Behind every smile there's a story

Every patient has their own story.

Sometimes financial concerns cause people to put off a visit to the dentist for years. What starts as a minor issue can develop into pain, anxiety, or embarrassment. During Dental Day, we look not only at the teeth, but also at the person behind the smile.

With care, respect, and without judgment, we provide essential assistance to those who need it most.

Who is Dentist Day for?

Dentist Day is intended for adults 18 years of age and older who:

  1. Have acute dental problems.
  2. Being unable to pay for necessary dental care due to financial circumstances.
  3. Register through a social worker or social service organization.

What treatment options are available?

During Dental Day, we provide emergency treatment only. Depending on the situation, this may include, for example:

  1. Pain treatments;
  2. Fillings;
  3. Extractions;
  4. Teeth cleaning;
  5. Oral Care Advice;
  6. Referral when follow-up care is needed.

Long-term treatment programs and cosmetic procedures

What is the registration process?

Registration is handled through a social worker or social service organization Food Bank Delft, Kessler Perspective, Financial Assistance Delft, Urgente Noden Delft Foundation

After registration, the situation will be assessed. If a person is eligible, they will receive a confirmation call with the date, time, and location of the treatment.

Why is De Delftse Tandartspraktijk participating?

At De Delftse Tandartspraktijk, oral care is about more than just teeth. Every day, we are committed to quality, personalized care, and a warm welcome. Dentist Day fits seamlessly with this philosophy. By volunteering our knowledge and experience, we help people who otherwise would not have access to essential oral care. We are proud to be part of this national initiative again in 2026.

Together, we make a difference

National Dentist Day is only possible thanks to the dedication of dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, front-desk staff, support staff, and community organizations.

Together, we make sure people can smile again without pain.

Because behind every smile there's a story.
