Oral health educator appointments & information:
You may have been referred to one of our oral health educators by a dentist who feels this will help improve your general oral hygiene. The oral health educators primary focus is on prevention and how you can take control of the health of your mouth at home.
The oral health educators will be informed by the dentist on what may need improving and discussing during the appointment, so each appointment is tailored to your needs. This could be discussing cavity prevention, periodontal disease or erosion, If you have fixed/removable appliances (braces or retainers), plaque control, brushing/flossing and interdental care or diet advice (discussing diet/completing a diet diary).
You may only need one oral health educator appointment and then the dentist will review your progress and re-refer if necessary.

Mrs Beverley Robinson (Oral Health Educator) displaying an information board to educate children at a local school about hidden sugars in some of their favourite food, the risk of tooth decay and tooth-brushing instructions/demonstration. We promote the "Smile 4 Life" programme which aims to reduce tooth decay in children, while laying a solid foundation for good oral hygiene throughout their lives.
Miss Paige Birkett & Mrs Beverley Robinson (Oral Health Educators).
For "National Smile Month" we decided to decorated our reception area like a sweet shop. We filled the cabinets with sweet jars displaying how much sugar the sweets contained.
|
For "National Smile Month" we also provided a "pick n mix" corner, where children could place toothpaste samples and information leaflets inside a paper bag to take home.
|
During "National Smile Month" we provided "goody bags" for children to take away for free. These contained a toothbrush, a toothpaste sample, some information leaflets and a toothbrushing chart.
|
Sticking with the sweet shop theme during "National Smile Month" we displayed our special offers in glass jars with colourful tissue paper. We had lots of special offers throughout the month, mainly aimed towards children.
