We are humbled to share that Bright Smiles (Christine Fairbairn) has been nominated by the Chatham-Kent Chamber of Commerce in the category of “Young Business Individual of the Year” for their Business Excellence Awards.

Bright Smiles is proud to support ‘Shop with a Cop’ again this holiday season by donating over 100 toothbrushes and toothpastes

The purpose of this event is to foster positive relationships between children and law enforcement officers. Kids between the ages of 5-12 from across the Municipality are selected by Chatham-Kent Children’s Services, Big Brothers & Big Sisters and Victim Services. Each child is given a Walmart gift card to purchase gifts for their immediate family.The children are assigned their own officer as their ‘personal shopping assistant’ who escort them around the store to assist in selecting appropriate gifts for each family member. After shopping, the children are transported to the Bradley Convention Centre where they enjoy breakfast and other fun Christmas activities while elves wrapped their presents.

The goal of ‘Shop with a Cop’ is to break down the barriers between young people and law enforcement, with the intent of developing a better and more trusting relationship with those in uniform.

Bright Smiles along with the Dental Hygienist and Dental Assistants from the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit toured the Chatham Water Treatment Plant. We learned about how our water is treated and how fluoride is added to our drinking water.

Did you know…for $1.85 you can fill 2000 500mL bottles of water?

Thank you to all of the staff who took the time to explain the plant and processes to us. You do great work!

Bright Smiles has been chosen by the Ontario Oral Health Alliance to highlight an initiative which demonstrates the power of community partnerships.

Bright Smiles in partnership with the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit have provided over $10,500 in FREE dental hygiene treatment with our “Give Where You Live” initiative.

A huge thank you to MPP Monte McNaughton for meeting with Beth from the Chatham-Kent Community Health Centre, Leeanne from the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit and Christine from Bright Smiles Community Dental Hygiene earlier today.

We discussed the need for dental programs for low income adults and seniors. We submitted dozens of petitions to Monte in support of this cause.

‘Give Where You Live’ Passes a Major Milestone!

In only 10 months we have broken the $10,000 in FREE treatment barrier with our 5th Give Where You Live dental hygiene clinic!

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers and support we have received from the community to make these charity days possible.

#GiveWhereYouLive

Before and After: What a Difference!

The importance of dental hygiene care can be seen here in these before and after photos. This client received FREE dental hygiene treatment during our Give Where You Live clinic on Sunday.

We are accepting new clients so call today to book your appointment!

Bright Smiles Thanks Chatham-Kent MPP Rick Nicholls

I’d like to thank Rick Nicholls, MPP for taking the time today to meet with Beth from the Chatham-Kent Community Health Centre, Leeanne from Chatham-Kent Public Health and Christine from Bright Smiles Community Dental Hygiene today.

We were able to submit dozens of signatures on our petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to invest in public oral health programs for low income adults and seniors. We are happy to hear he will be taking our petitions of Queen’s Park!
