Help us to share happy and healthy smiles in your community by purchasing a fun and exciting box full of colourful and interactive resources.
“The Sharing Smiles resources will help you to have positive conversations and encourage children and their families to have smiles they are proud of.”

Why Sharing Smiles?
There’s nothing like a child’s smile, and a healthy smile is important for all children everywhere.
Sadly, many who live in deprived communities are more likely to experience tooth decay which requires extraction in hospital under general aesthetic, costing the NHS a staggering £51million each year for something which is largely preventable.*
So let’s start Sharing Smiles!
How will this help my community?
Prevention is key! Sharing Smiles has been designed for early years settings everywhere; schools, nurseries, Children’s Centre’s, toddler and parent groups, libraries etc.
Sharing Smiles will make a lasting impact on children's lives by encouraging positive toothbrushing routines from an early age, which plays such a crucial role in their well-being and development.
