Social commitment is an integral part of our identity. For many years, we have therefore been involved in an initiative for the benefit of the Sternenbrücke children’s and youth hospice in Hamburg. As part of this project, we donate all the dental gold from our practice to the Sternenbrücke foundation.

This form of support contributes to the financing of therapeutic services in hospices. Around 40 of the approximately 1,500 dental practices in Hamburg are currently participating in this initiative. Together, this commitment enables the financing of two therapist positions and thus makes a concrete contribution to the care of seriously ill children, adolescents and their families.

We have deliberately opted for this form of support and see it as part of our social responsibility. At the same time, we welcome the participation of other dental practices in the project.

Further information on the Sternenbrücke children’s and youth hospice can be found on the foundation’s website.

The concept for this was developed by a working group from various universities and leading practices, published under the leadership of PD Dr. M. Oliver Ahlers, CMD-Centrum Hamburg-Eppendorf. The publication is frequently cited by other authors and even more frequently read by experts. The CMD Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is the first port of call for the implementation of your dental treatment…
