Minister of Health launches Bright Bites
On Friday 24th March 2006 Dentaid held the official launch of its new oral health initiative Bright Bites at St Peters Roman Catholic School in Doncaster. Although the weather was terrible and a train carrying most of the guests broke down just outside Doncaster! The day was a great success. Rosie Winterton MP was the guest of honour and during her address she talked about the importance of being involved in children's oral health education as well as the work of Dentaid within the developing world.
The launch was also attended by the official sponsors of Bright Bites, Aquafresh and Denplan. Harriet Whiting, the representative for Aquafresh, spoke of how excited the company was to be involved with Dentaid and to be able to play such an important part of the oral health future of children in the UK.
Stephen Gates, Managing Director of Denplan, spoke of how committed Denplan is to the broader work of Dentaid but also to the oral health of children and how Bright Bites is going to make a huge impact on the future of our childrens smiles!
