Eilertsen Dental Care, Plymouth
Dental Outreach Programme
Community Dental Outreach
At Eilertsen Dental Care, we believe that great oral health starts with education, confidence, and access. Our dental outreach programme brings our team directly into the community — visiting schools, youth groups, care homes, food banks, and local organisations across Plymouth and the South West.
Our outreach work is led by Dr Maria Stevenson, who oversees planning, educational content, and delivery to ensure every session is engaging, informative, and tailored to the audience.
Our Outreach Mission
Our mission is simple: to help people of all ages understand how to care for their teeth and gums. Through our community dental education sessions, we share practical advice on brushing techniques, sugar awareness, healthy eating, and everyday habits that support long‑term oral health.
These sessions also allow us to connect with groups who may not otherwise receive dental guidance — strengthening our commitment to supporting the wider Plymouth community.
What We Teach
Every outreach visit is adapted to the needs of the group. For children, we focus on fun, interactive learning. For adults and care home residents, we provide practical demonstrations and easy‑to‑follow advice.
Our activities may include:
-
Toothbrushing demonstrations using dental models
-
Sugar awareness sessions using real‑world examples
-
Healthy eating discussions
-
PowerPoint presentations and visual learning
-
Colouring sheets and wordsearches for younger groups
-
Denture cleaning demonstrations for older adults
All materials are professionally branded with the Eilertsen Dental Care logo and colour scheme, ensuring consistency and clarity across every event.
Where We Visit
Our outreach team regularly visits:
-
Local Plymouth schools — teaching children how to brush effectively and make healthier choices
-
Scouts and cubs groups — combining hands‑on activities with oral health learning
-
Care homes — supporting residents and carers with practical hygiene advice
-
Food banks and community centres — offering guidance and free resources to those who need it most
We are continually expanding our outreach programme to reach more groups and support more people across the region.
How We Work
Each outreach event is carefully planned to ensure a smooth, professional experience. The process includes:
- Identifying the audience and confirming a date
- Preparing educational content and branded materials
- Coordinating team members and logistics
- Delivering the session with demonstrations, activities, and Q&A
- Capturing photos (with consent) and gathering feedback
Our internal procedures ensure every event is well‑organised, safe, and impactful — with clear communication before, during, and after the visit.
