What to expect from our Healthy Smile Academy
Just like teaching a child to tie their shoes or ride a bike, introducing them to good oral hygiene is a fundamental skill that sets them up for success. By making brushing and flossing a fun part of their daily routine, you’re not only warding off cavities but also nurturing their confidence with every healthy smile they share. We believe that teaching children about oral health should be as captivating as their favourite game, encouraging a love for healthy habits from the start. With a strong focus on family, we provide parents with the tools and knowledge to reinforce these valuable lessons at home.

We’ll explore establishing a daily brushing and flossing routine as a fun family activity, making nutritious dietary choices to promote dental health, and ways to engage your child in learning about oral hygiene.
