"I have learnt so much from this experience, having a different subject every week helps you to keep coming back. It gives you more knowledge on you and your baby's progress and development. There's always something that I didn't know beforehand"
Jillian (attended in June)

Fill in our survey! Your opinions could help shape oral health services in your area!

The survey should only take you 5 minutes yet could make a huge difference to your local service. By completing the survey, you could also opt to enter the prize draw to win an electric toothbrush bundle.

Please complete our survey by following https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/MedwaySmiles/

This year the survey focus's on adults (aged 16+) and aims to provide information about the oral health status of adults and their use of treatment services at a local level. The information arising from them allows local authorities to tailor programmes for groups where oral health is poor and NHS England area teams to plan dental services to meet the needs of the population.
