Preventative Education

Tooth decay, though preventable, remains a significant issue for children. Almost a quarter of 5-year-olds experience tooth decay. This can cause pain, missed school days and sometimes even hospital visits. It's a call to action to ensure all children have the chance to receive preventative oral health education!

How SMILEquity Adds Value:

  • Interactive Learning: Our workshops incorporate singing, model making, and games to engage children and make learning about oral health enjoyable.

  • Expert Guidance: Led by Dr Marjani, a qualified dentist, our sessions provide expert dental knowledge tailored for young audiences.

  • Preventative Focus: We emphasise the prevention of tooth decay and gum disease, teaching children the importance of brushing, interdental cleaning, and healthy eating through hands-on activities.

  • Accessibility: We bring our workshops directly to nurseries, community centers, and other child-friendly spaces, making it convenient for children to participate.

  • Educational Resources: Health education is part of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and National Curriculum.

  • Enhanced DBS: All trainers have enhanced DBS.
