Is there a Dutch charity that would help folks who can't afford it with dental care in the Netherlands?

Boosts welcome.

(Yes I googled and did not find one that would be still active. So please refrain from "here is what I googled" results. Obviously not for me, but - for reasons - that's something I want to donate to.)
