Operating in 19 locations, including its flagship clinic at C-Care Kololo, Nyonyi Gardens, Dentcare aims to transform oral health services with a comprehensive range of treatments and state-of-the-art technology.

According to the Ministry of Health, over 75% of adults and 90% of children in Uganda suffer from oral health issues such as tooth decay annually.

Dentcare offers a full range of dental services, including preventive dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, and specialized pediatric care, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and treatment equipment to ensure accurate and effective care.

In collaboration with Colgate, Dentcare is enhancing its commitment to oral health education, aiming to raise awareness about dental hygiene and preventive care within communities.

Andrew Mugalu, General Manager of Dentcare, emphasized the importance of regular dental visits to prevent complications.

“We encourage everyone to promote oral health in their communities, whether in schools or at home. Regular dental checkups are crucial.”

Sheila Aboth, Head of Brand, Marketing, and Communications at C-Care Uganda, confirmed that Dentcare’s expansion is ongoing, with 19 clinics already operational.

“Dentcare is dedicated to ensuring Ugandans have access to high-quality dental care services at affordable prices,” Aboth stated.

Dentcare’s growth aligns with C-Care Uganda’s broader strategy to enhance healthcare services nationwide by combining advanced technology with community-focused initiatives.
