Miss Jamaica Festival Queen 2021, Dr. Dominique Reid, has launched a project in Manchester, designed to enhance oral health care and hygiene among youngsters and, in the process, preserve thier smiles.
The initiative, titled: ‘Project Healthy Smiles Jamaica’, will target approximately 590 children, aged six to 12, and is being rolled out in the parish which she represented in the national coronation.
The undertaking is in keeping with one stipulation of the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC)-organised Miss Jamaica Festival Queen Competition, that contestants engage in activities focused on community development.
Dr. Reid, who is a dental surgeon, says the choice of project was prompted by resonating sentiments that oral health care is not taken seriously.
