Happy Smiles Club
Portfolio
We are here to help!
Our practice established The Happy Smiles Club in 2016. Our mission is to improve parents and children awareness of the importance of good oral health.
We do this by offering personalised appointments in one of our 4 Oral Health Education Suites and by visiting the local schools and community groups.
We believe it is key to support the work of parents at home, so every child can grow up with the skills and knowledge to keep their teeth free from tooth decay. We believe there should be no barriers to access oral health care.
We want to encourage positive change and create a lasting impact on our local community.

Our helpful Oral health Educators are ready see how we can help promote good health for you, your family and our community.
Learning about good oral health care at an early age will benefit children throughout their entire life.
New guidance which takes effect from September 2020 will require that both primary and secondary school pupils are taught about the importance of good dental health.
Due to social distancing guidelines The Happy Smiles Club are unable to provide face to face visits at present, but we are still here still help you deliver important Oral Health Education to your classes!
Every 10 minutes, a child in England has a tooth removed due to preventable tooth decay and 60,000 days a year are missed from school due to hospital tooth extractions.
We have created a free educational program that teachers can deliver effortlessly. From early years up to KS2 we have all the tools you will need to provide Oral Health Education to your classrooms.

It’s crucial to support the work of professionals that work closely with young children so they can support families. Good oral healthcare is key, not only to prevent decay but also with the potential connection between microorganisms in the mouth and difficulties associated with COVID-19.
We are offering free education and training to childcare professionals where we will talk with you/your team via video link on early years oral health.
