Associated partners

Whilst remaining financially independent smilescool ltd is proud to announce the following partners, who have appraised the programme within their own fields, and are happy to provide their names in endorsement.

Chief Executive Officer, Dr Nigel Carter said:

"Early-years dental care is vitally important, as good oral hygiene habits set up a lifetime of good health. There is evidence to suggest that the later a child gets it first dental cavity the better their lifetime oral health is likely to be and also research pointing to close links between oral health and overall health, so it is important to establish a good oral health routine early.

The Foundation is delighted to be working with smilescool, whose system will assist the important change to a new emphasis on preventative dental care.

Providing a fun environment and educating children in dental hygiene habits will also help transform the image of a trip the dentist. THis can help familarise a child with the dental practice environment and avoid any problems of dental phobia, instead creating a fun and positive environment encouraging dental hygiene.

This is a highlt innovative project that we are confident will help towards positive progress in children's oral health."

We have received this outstanding endorsement from Prof. Chapple (Professor of Periodontology, Periodontal Research Group, Birmingham School of Dentistry

“Smilescool is the best innovation in Dentistry that I have seen in many years. It is time we started implementing preventative care models properly, rather than paying lip service to prevention. This means we have to start with infants and influence their values and lifestyles to prevent common oral diseases. Given the strong associations established between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease, adverse diabetes outcomes and stroke, and the recognition that obesity, poor diets and sedentary lifestyles impact upon periodontal health and general health, we also have a key role to play in motivating youngsters to better lifestyles. The successful implementation of M.I.K.E.S. System (a key component within the smilescool programme) will have a hugely beneficial effect in educating, motivating and empowering patients to achieve better oral health and therefore better general health.”

This testimonial is from Richard George, Chief Executive Officer, DPAS

"The team at DPAS was instrumental in the establishment of private dental plans within the U.K. and we have always known that preventive oral health care is the best way of remaining dentally fit. Administering plans in over 500 dental practices nationwide gives us the expertise to advise clinicians of the best way for dental plans to be structured to ensure that patients have an adequate mixture of dentist and hygienist appointments. Whilst adults understand the importance of this message, and appreciate the option of spreading their payments by Direct Debit, delivering the message of oral health to junior patients can prove difficult. This is why the DPAS team were delighted to be affiliated with the smilescool concept.

Smilescool is about much more that teaching children to brush their teeth and eat healthily. It’s about establishing the foundations of a lifelong commitment to oral health, and indeed the results could well extend further than the mouth. Recent reports connecting poor oral health to more widespread health issues indicate just how crucial it is to engage children effectively.

DPAS has been the payment plan administrator for Reece Associates for a number of years. We know the experience which Michael and Sara Reece hold, combined with their passion for paediatric dentistry, means that they have had the vision to create a unique and groundbreaking service/product. Their efforts and commitment to advance children’s oral health care will ensure the growth and success of Smilescool."

This testimonial is from Richard Thomas, Chief Executive Officer, Oralinsights

"I have been involved with the smilescool concept since May. When I first met Mike and Sara Reece regarding their concept I was blown away by the enthusiasm and passion to improve the oral hygiene of not only their patients but the national as a whole.

The smilescool concept and programme is completely innovative and light years ahead of any other oral hygiene programmes but more importantly it is tried and tested - it works. Oralinsights is also an innovative system to help instruct and change people's brushing behaviour and fits perfectly into the smilescool programme in helping monitor and change patient's oral hygiene behaviour.

I believe the combination of smilescool and Oralinsights together offers the most innovative oral hygiene monitoring and development system available anywhere in the world. Added to this Mike and Sara's drive and commitment to bring this to children and their parents in the UK means that smilescool is the most significant development in oral hygiene since the introduction of flouride."
