The accreditation was awarded by the Oral Health Improvement Team, part of DentalHealthCare, Cambridgeshire Community Services.

My Smile Children’s Centre is an accreditation awarded to children’s centres and family hubs that provide a tooth friendly service for the children and families they support. This includes offering the best advice to families around toothbrushing, tooth friendly snacks and drinks, and promoting regular dental visits.

The award is supported by the Oral Health Improvement team who trained the children’s centre staff and provided resources to help them meet the accreditation requirements. The accreditation is valid for 2 years.

Councillor Steve Owen, our Executive Member for Children’s Services, said:

The My Smile accreditation shows how our children’s centres are making a real difference in the lives of families. By promoting good oral health and providing support, we’re helping to ensure that children grow up healthy and happy.

Our children’s centres are vital in connecting families with the resources they need to thrive, offering a range of services, from parenting workshops to health advice, creating a supportive community where families can learn and grow together.
