At Greenbank Family Dental, we believe healthy habits start early — and sometimes, all it takes is a little imagination to bring those lessons to life.

Over the past few months, our team has been working behind the scenes to create something truly special for our youngest community members — an educational initiative designed to make oral health exciting, empowering, and memorable.

Introducing: Captain Clean Tooth and Miss Floss Boss — two vibrant superheroes on a mission to protect the smiles of Greenbank's children from the mischief of the sugar bugs!


A Creative Journey from Sketch to Smiles

What began as a simple sketch on a whiteboard has now grown into a fully-formed universe. From custom character design and sticker creation to props and a playful storyline, our whole team has been involved in building a world where Captain Clean Tooth and Miss Floss Boss help children fight cavities, learn superhero brushing techniques, and understand the importance of regular dental visits.

And the best part? We're offering this service completely free of charge to local childcare centres.


First Stop: Active Kids Greenbank

We're thrilled to announce that our first Happy Smiles Presentation will launch at Active Kids Greenbank on 29th April, followed by sessions at Guardian Greenbank and Little Heroes Greenbank in the months ahead.

These fun, interactive visits help children:

  • Learn the importance of brushing and flossing

  • Understand how to spot and stop sugar bugs

  • Gain confidence around dental visits

  • Receive take-home resources to support their smile at home


Partnering with Local Centres Who Share the Vision

We’re grateful to partner with amazing childcare centres who are just as passionate about early oral health as we are. One of our first stops is Active Kids Greenbank, where the team has welcomed the Happy Smiles Initiative with open arms.

“We are so excited to link with our local dentist Greenbank Family Dental to introduce this amazing program we will be rolling out. Shining a light on the importance of early dental hygiene.”– Mynette, Active Kids Greenbank

This type of partnership is exactly what drives our mission — connecting with local educators to help create lifelong healthy habits in a fun and meaningful way.

Supporting Parents, Educators & the Community

This initiative isn’t just about teaching kids to brush — it’s about partnering with parents and supporting educators. We’re proud to help reinforce healthy habits both in the classroom and at home, making oral health part of everyday learning in a way that’s fun, friendly, and future-focused.

"I feel very fortunate to have been given the freedom to genuinely engage with our local community and discover what their needs are and how we can assist. Coming from a background in marketing and merchandising, I’ve loved seeing how this project has come to life. GFD already has such a strong foundation and reputation in the area — it’s made this entire journey that much more meaningful. It’s good people doing good things for a great purpose."– Emmanuel Richards, Practice Manager

Where Kids Become Superhero Smiles

At Greenbank Family Dental, every visit is an opportunity to build confidence and connection. When kids come to our clinic, they step into Captain Clean Tooth’s Headquarters, where our real-life heroes — Dr. Dan, Dr. Marwa, Anne, and the team — help guide them through:


✔ Checking for sneaky sugar bug hideouts (aka cavities!)✔ Applying a fluoride shield to protect young teeth✔ Teaching superhero-level brushing techniques✔ Sending kids home with mission-ready floss, paste, and brushing charts

Because behind every bright smile… is a team of superheroes 🦷✨
