Widening access to dental school involves making the opportunity to pursue a career in dentistry more accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented communities, lower socio-economic backgrounds, and non-traditional pathways.
Dental Mentor is a UK-based social enterprise organisation that aims to increase the diversity and inclusivity of the dental profession by providing support and guidance to students from underrepresented backgrounds who are interested in pursuing a career in dentistry.
The NHS is facing a shortage of dentists, particularly in certain specialties and regions. By supporting and mentoring aspiring dental students, Dental Mentor is helping to increase the number of students who are well informed about the career and successfully admitted to dental school.

Dental Mentor encourages and supports innovation in dental education and research, which can lead to improved patient outcomes and more effective and efficient healthcare practices.
