A dental hygienist has won the Oral Hygiene By Design Award 2015.

Michelle Coles who works at the Dental Studios in Borehamwood entered ‘Hooked on Oral Hygiene’ and will be launched to dental clinics nationwide in 2016.

Miss Coles was awarded a grant of £750 towards her Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and a year’s supply of Wrigley’s Extra sugarfree gum for her clinic.

She said: “The ‘Hooked on Oral Hygiene’ tool is great because it can be hooked somewhere visible, like a bathroom door, allowing my patients to keep their oral hygiene advice close to hand and helping them to regularly recall this information to maintain good habits between check-ups.”
