Dundee Dental Hospital Invites People to be a Dentist for a Day
Dundee Dental Hospital is opening up its doors and enabling members of the public to be a dentist for the day as part of a city-wide event. The Doors Open Day aims to give people an insight into the city, offering the chance to discover more about landmarks and local businesses free of charge.
This year’s event was in doubt, but it has been saved at the last minute. Previous hosts Dundee University pulled out of organising this year’s events, but the Dundee Institute of Architects stepped in. Fraser Middleton, secretary, said that representatives from the institute wanted to help out after hearing that the event was in jeopardy. This year’s festival is particularly exciting for the institute, as it will run at the same time as they city’s Festival of Architecture.
The event is designed to open up the city to locals and visitors from other cities and countries. It’s about places buildings, but it’s also a chance to get to know the people of Dundee.
As part of the programme, Dundee Dental Hospital will be allowing access to treatment rooms and giving local people an idea of what a day in the life of a dentist entails. Other participants include Blackness Fire Station, Dundee Central Mosque, Maggie’s Centre and HMS Frigate Unicorn, which is based at City Quay.
