BUSINESS BYTE: Jolly’s gives back to children of Kalinago territory

Jolly’s National Clinic’s (JNC) commitment to building a lifetime of healthy habits in children across Dominica reached the North East of the Island in the Kalinago Territory. In commemoration of the Ministry of Health’s Oral Health Week and through a long standing partnership with Wisdom, JNC made a donation of Wisdom toothbrushes and toothpastes to over eighty students of the Salybia and Atkinson Primary school.

Mr. Carlton Lanquedoc, Head of Public Relations and Public Health at the company, was on hand to make the donation. He stated that JNC will be doing similar health projects across the island in an effort to decentralize their health promotion and education ventures. According to Mr. Lanquedoc, “dental caries is a major oral health problem, affecting 60-90% of schoolchildren worldwide, thus, the significance of reaching out to our children”. He added that, “good oral health is an important part of good overall health and general well-being. While the Ministry of Health has made progress in reducing dental diseases through important prevention measures, there is more to be done”.

Oral Health Week is being celebrated under the theme “Educating and Advocating for Optimum Oral Health”.

    I just wish this was a coconut product toothpaste that does not have fluoride. Fluoride is proven to be a health hazard but toothpaste companies still add the ingredient.
