At Tower Hill Dental Practice, our dedication to the wellbeing of our patients extends beyond the practice. Starting this February, we will begin a new initiative aimed at fostering better oral health within our community. We believe that everyone deserves access to essential oral care knowledge and services, and we are excited to take the lead in making a positive impact.
One of the cornerstones of our community outreach program is the provision of oral health education and services to local schools, care homes, and community groups. We recognise the importance of instilling good oral hygiene habits from an early age, and through our educational sessions, we aim to empower the next generation with the knowledge they need to maintain healthy smiles throughout their lives.
Our team is committed to visiting schools to engage with students, teachers, and parents alike. We understand that a healthy smile contributes not only to physical wellbeing but also to a child’s confidence and self-esteem. By offering our expertise in a fun and interactive way, we hope to make learning about oral health an enjoyable experience for the young minds in our community.
We are extending our outreach to care homes and community groups. We recognise that oral health is a crucial aspect of overall wellbeing, especially for the elderly. Through our visits, we aim to provide valuable information and support to residents of care homes, as well as community members who may face barriers to accessing regular dental care.
To complement our in-person efforts, we are increasing our presence on our social media platforms, particularly Facebook and Instagram. Over the coming months, some of our posts will be dedicated to educating our community on good oral health practices. We understand that not everyone has the opportunity to attend our sessions in person, so we are bringing the knowledge directly to our followers’ screens.
Parents, in particular, play a pivotal role in shaping their children’s oral health habits. With this in mind, we will be sharing prevention strategies tailored to support parents with young children. Our aim is to equip parents with the tools they need to make informed decisions about their children’s oral care, fostering a collaborative approach to family dental health.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at education. We understand that questions may arise or additional support may be needed. Therefore, any parent seeking further information or assistance can reach out to our team at no charge. We are here to address concerns, provide guidance, and ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to enjoy optimal oral health.
As a dental care provider, our mission is not just about treating dental issues when they arise but also about preventing them in the first place. Through our community outreach programming and online educational initiatives, we hope to create a ripple effect of positive oral health practices that extends far beyond our Sowerby Bridge dental practice.
Let’s build a community with healthy, confident smiles for everyone.
