Smile Friendly Program
Supporting Healthy Smiles in Schools and Aged Care Facilities
What is Smile Friendly?
The Smile Friendly Partnership Program is at no cost to your school or aged care facility. It supports your organisation in improving oral health through practical tools and resources.
Students and staff receive dental care packs, brushing charts, activity books, and online learning modules tailored to schools and aged care. These materials make it easier to teach healthy habits, start conversations about oral hygiene, and reduce preventable dental issues.
Becoming a Smile Friendly site shows your commitment to the health of your community. You’ll have access to additional oral health support from the Australian Dental Foundation and be recognised as a partner in improving outcomes.
We work with schools and aged care providers to make oral health education more accessible and effective. Together, we’re moving Australia toward a decay-free future, one tooth at a time.
How much does it cost?
The Smile Friendly Partnership Program is at no cost to your school or facility. We want to recognise your commitment to good oral health and work with you towards a decay-free future.
Who is eligible to join?
Schools, preschools, kindergartens, early learning centres, childcare centres and aged care facilities which meet our criteria and who are committed to better oral health.
How often do we need to renew our partnership?
We’ll check in with you each year to make sure we’re both on track and see what more support we can provide.
How often will the Smile Friendly team visit us?
We’ll visit at least once a year for an oral health presentation. In the meantime, you can access the online training modules for new staff, teachers and students. We’ll also visit at least once a year to provide dental services.
What will our students/staff receive?
Students and staff in school and aged care facilities will receive oral health care packs and appropriate resources, such as activity books, brushing charts, online learning modules for schools and aged care.
