Easter Saturday, we hosted a child friendly Easter Egg Hunt. Children were encouraged to visit the practice for a NHS check up and fun and games. All children that attended left with a tooth-friendly Easter gift of an Easter basket full of dental goodies.
Staff visited Play Planet Pre-school to promote oral health to the toddler group, parents and staff. A presentation covering information on teething, healthy teeth and gums, diet, brushing and the importance of regular visits to dentist was given to the group. During the session, the attention of the children was captivated by our display showing hidden sugars in various popular food and drinks and a display done to show correct brushing technique.
Sadly the weather was bad but it didn't stop us! Tooth brushing instruction and the sugar shocker game proved very popular with the kids, who had to weigh out the amount of sugar they thought were in some common foods. One little boy even gave the Tooth Fairy his dummy which was really positive.
Staff at Oak Dental Canvey visited local school Leigh Beck Junior in conjunction with their human body assignment. Staff focused on diet and brushing techniques and all the children had a go at flossing. They played a sugar game with a spinning wheel and demonstrated what happens to teeth during the decaying process using Coke. 78 children were presented to all aged between 8 & 9 years old. The children genuinely enjoyed the session and were given a goodie bag and certificates.
Here's Ellis showing his appreciation!
To raise awareness of Oral Health and healthy eating for both adults and children, staff visited Little Lions Children's Centre where most children are under 4 years old. Parents were given a talk about Oral Health and staff gave out fresh fruit and goodie bags to the children.
Thank you to all our patients that took part in our Annual Patient Satisfaction Survey during November 2015. Your feedback is really important to us as it helps us to improve our service.
We were very pleased to find that 98% of our patients would recommend us to friends and family.
All the children really enjoyed the crocodile puppet giving oral hygiene advice and goody bags we provided.
