A DENTAL practice that begun in a caravan has done so well it has been able to donate equipment to poverty-stricken countries.

Titchfield Dental Health Practice (TDHP), which now operates in South Street, Titchfield, gave a dental chair to Uganda and X-ray equipment to the Ukraine after a recent revamp.

Dentaid, a charity which helps to bring relief to thousands of children and adults in developing countries, distributes dental equipment no longer needed by UK practices.

Clare Chavasse, principal dentist at TDHP, said: "I am delighted Dentaid were able to make use of some of our existing equipment."

The practice, which was originally run from a caravan in a village car park seven years ago, has gone from strength to strength and has recently taken on three new staff.
