Designed to Smile

Designed to Smile is an NHS Dental programme funded by the Welsh Government helping children to have healthier teeth. All Dental teams in Wales have been informed about the Designed to Smile programme.

We also want to encourage children to brush their teeth once a day at nursery or school. Evidence shows regular use of a ‘family’ fluoride-containing toothpaste helps reduce the need for fillings and extractions.
