Aehievement 2nd Performance
During the year, the Tn]stees expended £72,711 under the ternis of their obje¢tives and activilies. This is
an increase of 790/0 a8ainst the previous year.
When we relaunched our services after the restrictions of Covid 19 eased, we took the decision to
concentraic on areas of Hull, the East Riding, South Humbcr. North Yorkshire, and areas of deprivation
around Nottingham. This was based on our 2bilil)' ￿ reach thcsc areas and relationships already
established with volunteer dentists in those areas.
We have worked hard to ensure that we ￿ach as many children as possible in these locations and ar¢ now
working with 20 schools and 4,007 children acr055 th05c 20 schools. In addition, we have trained 12 new
schools in North Yorkshire who are now supported by their local dentists.
Working with 4007 childrcn is an increase of 80/• and 291 ¢hildren and all 4,007 have reccivcd
toothbrushes and toothpaste throughout the year and have undergone daily supervised toothbrushing
within school. This Jn¢ans we have distributed 12,021 sets of toothbrushes and tootlipaste (one per tem).
In addition, all the children have rcceived tsyo dental examinations this year by volunteer dentists equating
to 8.014 dental ass¢ssm¢nts and 8,014 fluoride varnish applications to pmtect their t¢¢th.
Foundation Dentist5 have continued to support the Teeth Tcam progrdmme and the contributed volunteer
time given through the Deaneries to Teeth Team.
Other dental practices in Hull and other areas where Teeth Team operated had given 35 days completely
fr¢¢ of chargc to Teeth Team at a value of £54.600. Tivo dentists per day. (British Guild Ratc @ £780.00
a day per Dentist)
Of the 4,007 children examined. in iothl, there were 2,953 decayed ieeth. This IS tooth decay that will
affect other teeth and the future of developing teeth and is a shocking Statistic in children so young. Of
th¢sc, I, l O I children required dental treatment and 296 needed urgcnt trcattncnt.
This means that 27.50/a of the childr¢n scen by voluntcer dentists necded treatment such as fillings and
tooth extractions. Within those numbers, 7.380/0 were in urgent nced mcaning 296 children will havc bccn
experiencing acute pain and suffering that was left unchecked and without our intervention, would only
ever get worse.
Sadly, to date, only 425 (38Q/o) childrerk of the 1.101 who ne¢ded treatmcni have accessed the dcntal
treatment they urgently n¢cd. Thi5 15 a huge increase on last year's number, Ivhich ivas only 113 (150/D}
accessing treatmeni out of 754. Whilst this is very positive for the 425 children who have now received
treatment. preventing ih¢m having ongoing pain and sufferin& it does mean that despite letters bcing
issued to parents and ¢arers and follow up letter4 676 childrcn have still not been taken to a dental
surg¢ry for treatment even though we match them with local dentists io facilitate this.
After three dental assessments in schi)ol% if parents siill fail to lake their child to a local dentist 5urgcry,
we work with the schools to raise this a5 a safeguarding issue and (he school arrnng¢5 to call ihc parents in
for a discussion. This is be¢aus¢. thcsc childrcn will be experiencing pain and without Ireatm¢nt, ¢ould
evcntually need full tooth extraction which leaves them only able to eat soft fo(Kls until adult teeth come
thmugh. It also tncans that as baby teeth sei the channel for aduli i¢cth. a5 adult teeth come through, they
will go through a 'teething' process with si8nifi¢ani pain. Furth¢rnJorc. the adult teeth are unlikely to
emerge from gutll5 in a straight line kcause they will tske the path of least resistancc mcaning ihcy will
need significant dcntal care well inlo adulthood.

TEETH TEAM LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
Without T¢¢th Team, il is highly likely that these chtldren would not rcccivc any treatment Icaving them
in pain and suffering. Even though dcntal care is free lor children, there is still wnuch to do to cducatc
parents. to get parents to emkd oral hcalth in iheir daily routines and io take ¢hildren for denial ¢h¢ckups
on a regular basis.
During the year, Teeth Team successfully submitted sevcral grant applications to Charitsble Trusts and
Foundations leading to grdnts of £21.500. Details ¢an be found in note 5.
Income is essential, because over the pa￿ 12 months we have continued to increase the numbcrs of
children we support and over ih¢ Coming 12 months, we have furthcr plans to groiv the programme even
more to help us move ba¢k loivards the Icvels and number of children and schools ive were supportin8
b¢forc Covid 19.
Schools continue to be under pressure and sadly. some s¢hools havc continued to be Slow to rc-cngagc
with Teeth Team. duc to pressures on both time and costs but we are ¢oniinuing to lobby Schools to show
them the imp)rtance of oral health to a child's development. The number of children with looth decay in
the schools with which w¢ are working, as an averdge. will mean that there will liierally be thousands of
children in schools, that will bc experiencing pain and suffering which will only ever get worse. We
continue to push to get back into as many schools a5 Possible so we can identify these children and ensure
they get the treatment they need.
Over thc past 12 month5, we were approached ￿ give a p￿sen￿lion to th¢ ICB (Intcgratcd Carc Ijoard)
about Teeth Team and how we opernte. As a result of this. Ive ivere a5kcd to put together a proposal to
duplicate the servicc5 we deliver in other areas ol Yorkshir¢. Our proposal was acceptcd by the ICB
Board, and ivc have now delivered trdining in other areas across Yorkshire resulting in eight more Dcntal
Practices working with 30 more schi)ols reaching thousands more children. Over the coming 12 month,
we will deliver this pa¢kagc of training and support to oiher Denlal Practices in North and Northeast
Lincolnshire and North Yorkshir¢ iyith the potential io bring in 20 more Prdclices and 80 more schools.
This initiative in the HuM￿r and North Yorkshire ICB come octo1￿r 2024 is going to begin in the West
Yorkshire ICB.
Schools are identified by th¢ IDICI indcx ivhi¢h tneasure5 Ihe proportion of children in the school living
in household poverty and we iarg¢t s¢hools who are highest on thc indcx and by the levels of childrcn in
th¢ school in receipt of free school meals.
Through the training we have delivered to other areas of Yorkshire, we can en¢ourage other dental
practices to support their local s¢hools and cn5urc that children in Ihe5e schools receive oral health
education, toothbrushes and toothpasie, biannual a55CSStncnt and application of fluoride vamish and direct
referral to local dentists for treatment. Those child￿n in need of trcalmcnt autotnatically gain accc55 to
dental 5crvices for their siblings and parents if wteed be. In this way wc are helping lo dcvclop a
programmc of prevcntion. access. and treatment for literally thousands of children at no Cost to Teeth
Team and ￿achIng far more children than we could reach alone.
Our long-t¢rni aim would be io roll out thi5 progratnme across the whole of the UK but there is Still much
to do. The Trust¢¢s believc ihat the services ive provide and ivill continue to provide are of great benefit
to the community and we look fotvard 10 continuing to proieci thc oral hcalth of children living iii arcas
of deprivation within the areas where Teeth Team delivers the programme and encouraging othcr arcas to
adopt our systems to help schools and children in their own communities.

£40,559).
This is entirely within our aims of rebuilding the levels and numbers of s¢hools and ¢hildr¢n we work
with post Covid restrictions, and it shoivs an incwse in spending of 790/0. This was planned and we are
happy that we are once again growing our reach.
However, in¢ome was reduced from the previous year. This can bc seen as a reflection thai our previous
accounts were showing higher reSe￿e$. This piciure has noiv completely reversed as we have been able
to reach more children and deliver io MO￿ ￿h0o1$. Trustees took a very clear position in terns of our
high levels of reserves in that these should be used to enable us to reach more children and provide
training to dental practices in other areas so that they could replicate the services we provide, and our
current level of reserves reflects that strdtegy.
The Charity intends to continue implementing its aims and objectives as set down by the governing
do¢ument for the forthcoming year.

Tru5tee5' remunerdtion
Ms E. HaThison, a directorltruslee, was paid £4,750 (2023 £1,500) for professional services to the
company. The services provided included Marketing and PR and was provided at a loiver cost than
we would have received elsewhere. The charge was also lower than Ms Harrison would charge for
her nomial scrviccs to other organisation5. Thi5 decision was carefully considered at a TrustCCS
meeting which did not include Ms Harrison in the discussion and was considered to be in the best
interesi of the charity. Thi5 15 bccause the cost was lower than the costs from other providcrs and M5
Harrison in depth knowledge of T¢¢th Tcam savcd significant litne and costs. On the basis of this and
in accordance with the requirements of the Chariti¢s Commission, a written agreement was signed
which madc clear the purFK)se and costs of these services to Tedh Team. However, these serviccs
will not bc required in future years.
Rclated parties
£31,821 (2023 £9,798) was paid to 543 Dentsl Services Lilnitcd A company ¢ontrolled by CJ
Groombridge, a TrusteelDirector for professional services. Teeih T¢am does not employ any staff at
all but relies heavily on volunieer deniists ivho visit s¢hools and undertake the oral assessments.
However, the day-t(Fday plannin& Ot￿ratIonS and management of dental supplies, fluoride varnish
applications and communications With schools is carried out by two dental Iiurses. The hours tl)ey
work on the charity are sporadic with very busy periods twice a year during school visits and wl)en
ordcring and distribution dental supplies to schools but then other times of the year, tliese two POSts
are not required. Dental nurses are highly skilled and qualified and so teeth team would be unable to
sceure dentsl nurses on what, in effect, would be zero hours contrdcts to account for the tluctuation in
days working throughout the year.
Therefore, Teeth Team uses two qualified dental nurses employed be 543 Dental Servicc5 Limited as
and ivhen required on a basic hourly rdle. The charges from 543 Dental Services Limited only covcr
the cosis of the basic hourly pay and is the m05t cost-cffcclivc ￿'aY to access thc 5crviccs of specialisl
dental nurses. Trustccs would likc to makc clcar thc 543 Dental Services tllakc absolutely no profil
from the arrangement and are simply rciwnburscd at the v¢ry basic c05t.
Teeth Team Trustees have explored all other options, but the alternative would be the charity
employing two dental nurses ivho would have little to do for large periods of the year and thcrcforc
vould not be cost effective. In addition. this would incur higher charges to the charity in the forn] of
holiday pay, sick pay, pcnsions, etc.
So, after much consideration, Trnstees are satisfied that this arrnngcment pres¢nts the most ¢ost-
effective solution and is in the best interesi of the charity-
