Tanzania Dental Expo Dar es Salaam

The Tanzania Dental Expo (TDE) is Tanzania’s leading trade fair for dentistry and oral health. Held annually at the Mlimani City Conference Centre in Dar es Salaam—the country’s economic hub—the expo is organized by the Tanzania Trade Development Authority (TanTrade) and serves as a practical platform for advancing dental care in East Africa.

As the only event of its kind in the region, the TDE brings together professional expertise, technological innovation, and high-level social engagement. It targets professionals such as dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, dental students, investors, clinic managers, and healthcare decision-makers. The expo features state-of-the-art dental equipment, digital solutions, specialized training, workshops, and live demonstrations of the latest products. Both national and international exhibitors showcase developments in dental technology, medical equipment, hygiene, software, and research.

More than just a trade show, the TDE positions itself as a platform for education and networking with real-world benefits. Interactive training sessions provide up-to-date professional knowledge, targeted B2B meetings foster collaborations, and a public outreach program offers free dental check-ups and preventive education to the community.

Live presentations of innovative diagnostic technologies and exclusive trade fair offers receive special attention. In addition, outstanding achievements and innovations are recognized with awards that garner significant attention within the industry.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of the dental sector—from implant manufacturers and laboratory equipment providers to software developers and educational institutions. Investors focusing on the healthcare sector are also in attendance. Visitors come not only from Tanzania but from across the East African region, making the TDE a key platform for knowledge transfer and international cooperation.

The expo is firmly rooted in Dar es Salaam—a vibrant metropolis with direct access to Julius Nyerere International Airport and key transportation hubs. The Mlimani City Conference Centre, with its modern infrastructure, offers ideal conditions for both exhibitors and attendees.

The Tanzania Dental Expo is thus an essential forum for all those committed to shaping the future of dentistry in Africa—practically oriented, innovation-driven, and with a clear goal of sustainably improving oral healthcare in Tanzania.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the Tanzania Dental Expo takes place on 2 days from Fri., 30.05.2025 to Sat., 31.05.2025 in Dar es Salaam.
