The Dental Wellness Trust, a non-profit organisation, was established in 2011 by London-based dentist Dr Linda Greenwall and has been committed to children’s dental health ever since. We at DMG have supported this exemplary work for several years now, including the dental care programme for children in the townships of Cape Town, where Linda Greenwall was born.
With its LiveSmart supervised toothbrushing programme, the Dental Wellness Trust has, for example, been making sure that children brush their teeth properly after lunch in schools in the UK for over five years. The new mobile dental clinic is part of the LiveSmart programme, which aims to reach disadvantaged communities throughout the UK. It enables important (and free!) examination and prophylactic treatment of children in vulnerable social settings.
The mobile dental clinic is now up and running and ready for its first assignment to help with a screening and prevention programme at a school in North London!
