Giving

We urge all who have means to have a closer look at the people with special needs in our society

All of them possess one or more kinds of disabilities. Most of them are disadvantaged. They have difficulties even to lead an independent life.

We care whether the people with special needs smile and laugh from their hearts

Loving Smiles Foundation Limited is founded by a group of individuals who care whether the people with special needs smile and laugh from their hearts. We believe that appropriate dental care solutions, embracing expertise, infra-structure and services, specific to their needs would give them a joyful life.

We can realize our belief only with your donation

We, therefore, appeal to your gifts to our Foundation, so that dental care ideas and worthy programmes targeted at the special people could get off the ground.

Teeth Cleaning Coupon Fund

Background

Persons with special needs have difficulty in taking care of their own oral hygiene and must rely on caregivers to take care of their mouths. It takes the caregiver much persistence and hard work to maintain good oral hygiene for the person being cared for.

The Loving Smiles Foundation Limited has specially established this Teeth Cleaning Coupon Fund to reward caregivers who are committed to improving and maintaining the oral hygiene of persons with special needs.

Reward Method

To a case where the person with special needs is found to have significant oral hygiene improvement or maintained good over a period of at least 6 months contributed by his caregiver’s efforts, a Teeth Cleaning Coupon is rewarded for the caregiver / caree to use a free teeth cleaning service (dental check-up included) within the next two years.

Purposes

  • • To encourage caregivers to keep up with their efforts in maintaining good oral hygiene for the persons with special needs;
  • To entice the person being cared for to cooperate for care by enjoying good oral care;
  • To provide constant rewards to achieve long-term benefits in the carees.

The Need

We take reference from the current subsidy for teeth cleaning under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme and set the price for a Teeth Cleaning Coupon (dental check-up included) at $500. We have 10,000 patients with special needs in our database. We estimate that we need to reward 10% of the cases each year, i.e. at least 1,000 coupons. Therefore, the annual donation required is at least $500,000.
