Over the past decade, the Dental Mentor organisation has been a source of inspiration and guidance for tens of thousands of aspiring students who dream of becoming dentists. Through our mentorship programmes, we have successfully mentored students who have gone on to achieve their dreams and become dentists themselves.
What is remarkable is that many of of our successful Dental Mentor students (mentees) have returned as volunteer dentists, known as Dental Mentors, to give back to the organisation that supported them on their journey. These Dental Mentors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the mentorship programme and are a testament to the power of giving back. Our organisation is named after these inspirational students who have gone on to become dentists – proving that our programmes actually work!
Dental Mentors understand the challenges and struggles that aspiring students face when applying to dental school. They provide invaluable support to students by sharing their own experiences, offering guidance, and providing mentorship to help them navigate the journey to becoming a dentists.
The success of the Dental Mentor programme is due in no small part to the dedication and commitment of these volunteer dentists. Dentists can join us at any point in their careers. They give up their time to inspire and guide the next generation of dentists, and their contribution is immeasurable. These volunteer dentists give back because of the support they received when they applied to dental school through the Dental Mentor organisation, and they are an inspiration to all who dream of becoming a dentists.
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.
The NHS recognises the importance of diversity and inclusivity in the dental workforce in order to provide effective and equitable care for all patients. Dental Mentor is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity in dental education and the dental profession, by providing mentorship, guidance, and support to students from all backgrounds.

By addressing the wellbeing needs of students and promoting a culture of self-care and resilience, Dental Mentor is helping to create a future generation of dentists who are better equipped to provide high-quality care to patients.
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. By fostering a culture of curiosity and creativity among aspiring and current dental students, Dental Mentor is helping to drive progress and innovation in the dental field.
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.
