Anthony Harrison and Latoya Uerata were all smiles this week at Kelvin Rd School as the nationwide roll-out of free dental kits began.

The Papakura school is one of the first to get the packs in a KidsCan partnership with Lumino The Dentists. Over the next fortnight, 8500 teeth care packs will be delivered to encourage children to brush their teeth at school at least once a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The Kelvin Rd kids are already dedicated to the cause, brushing their teeth every school day at 1pm.
