The couple are generously funding Brighter Smiles – Cornwall’s oral health campaign – in this Cornish school community which will see over 70 children receive oral health care and education from September 2021.
This commitment sees Mick and Hannah, both experienced dentists, join a growing number of supporters committed to reversing the continuing trend of preventable tooth extractions from children across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly – the number one reason children aged five to nine years are admitted to hospital for general anaesthetic.
Their support will enable the dedicated Brighter Smiles team to set up toothbrushing clubs in the nursery, apply fluoride varnish to the teeth of reception and Year 1 pupils, and deliver oral health education to all the school’s children with home education packs for all.
Dawn Conjoyce, executive head teacher at Port Isaac School, said, “This is wonderful news for everyone in our school and nursery community, and our sincere thanks goes to Mick and Hannah for so generously supporting us. Here at Port Isaac our children love to learn, and I know this work will very much enhance their awareness of oral health – we look forward to seeing our children smiling even more brightly!”’
