Staff at the Dartford Road Dental Centre took part in an annual ‘Dress Up Day’ on behalf of the dental charity Dentaid, raising funds for much needed dental and oral health care in the developing world.
The theme for the day was Harry Potter Hogwarts Magic. The idea came from dental nurse Beverley Bushell, who coordinated the make-up and costumes, and centre manager Kim Bennett, who tried to explain the purpose of the day to all the worried looking clients. The staff were all able to carry out their work and duties in full costume and make-up, much to the surprise of their clients, who were asked to make donations and buy raffle tickets. Wizards, wands and cloaks were the order of the day, along with Dr Donohoe's transformation into Harry Potter himself.
