Dental Playbox Donates 'Brushing Bags' to Hospital

STOCKPORT, U.K. - March 2, 2015 - PRLog -- CHESHIRE- based children’s charity Action for Sick Children have donated 50 Dental Playbox ‘Brushing Bags’ for the use of children visiting Manchester’s Trafford General Hospital for urgent dental extractions and treatment.

The highly acclaimed Dental Playbox Project uses puppets, games and stories to train two to six-year-olds in the basics of good dental hygiene. The ‘Brushing Bags’ which contain tooth brushes and other dental care essentials, were presented to the hospital by senior Dental Playbox facilitator Kerry Hill.

Janet Davis, a Play Specialist in the hospital’s Children Resource Centre who took delivery of the Brushing Bags said: “This was a very generous donation indeed. The Brushing Bags will be used by children who have attended the Dental Clinic for extractions and other treatment.”
