One of Nigeria’s leading dental healthcare providers, Smile360 Dental Specialists, has raised an alarm over the growing shortage of dentists and orthodontic specialists in Nigeria, warning that the migration of healthcare professionals abroad is worsening access to oral healthcare services across the country.

The Chief Executive Officer of Smile360, Dr. Amy Shumbusho, spoke in Lagos during the celebration of World Orthodontic Health Day and the presentation of treatment awards to winners of the company’s “Project Smile” initiative.
