In November 2024, the BrightBites programme reached the milestone of delivering oral health education sessions to more than 30,000 children, and has since doubled this number.
The programme, delivered by Denplan and Dentaid The Dental Charity, targets education settings including schools, nurseries and after-school clubs. The BrightBites volunteers deliver in-person fun and interactive sessions to educate and inform children about oral health.
The children also receive a toothbrush and toothpaste to take home at the end of each session, to help them continue their positive oral health journey. Denplan and Dentaid said this is an important facet of the programme’s prevention aims, with some families unable to afford oral hygiene products.
