Synergy Dental Clinic Bolton – Head Dentist & Nurse
A class visit by the dentist for early years was a great way to engage children in positive oral health messages, demonstrating good tooth-brushing techniques, giving lessons on sugar in food and healthy diets, and simply good day-to-day advice on oral health routines. After the session, we handed out Dental Goody Bags for the children to take home with them.

We also provided a basic examination with a mirror and torch carried out by one of our qualified dentists alongside a qualified dental nurse who work at Synergy Dental Clinic Bolton and are both DBS checked.
The purpose of dental screening is to identify whether children can benefit from dental treatment, and to identify if there are any problems that may need a closer look in the dental surgery.
Dental Screenings operate a positive consent policy that means we require your written consent in order to examine your child.
Screening does not replace regular check ups at the dentist and your child should continue to visit his or her dentist.

Having a class visit is not only a wonderful community activity; it’s also a tremendous goodwill for the practice too.
