The award seeks to recognise a practice that has successfully introduced the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) DCby1 into their practice. The aim of the initiative is to increase the number of children who access dental care aged zero to two years, by campaigning to get infants into a dentist’s chair by their first birthday.
Shannu Bhatia, president of the BSPD, said, “With dentistry currently in crisis, children’s oral health is more important than ever. The more all those who play a role in children’s oral health can pull together - to focus on prevention from the start, the more impact we can have. We know that early access for an infant to a dentist, ideally before their first birthday, can set them on the right path to good oral health for life. This is why dental practices have such an important role to play in the DCby1 initiative.
