Gorleston-born Real Housewives star joins dental crisis war

31-year-old Tyler is swapping the glitz of The Real Housewives of Cheshire for dental tunics, with plans to visit schools around the UK to educate children on oral health.

The extent of the matter has shocked Mr Curtis, who said: "27,000 children in the UK are on the waiting list for specialist dental care, and an astounding 4.5 million children across the UK have not seen a dentist.

"And 15 million school days were lost last year because of dental problems."

In an effort to mitigate the crisis, Mr Curtis, along with Dr Hanna Kinsella and their company Icybear Dental Cubs, will be visiting schools to teach children about brushing and oral care.

They will also introduce their new team member, Cubby, to help prove that 'the dentist is a fun place to be.'

They're taking their mission one step further with a free interactive app, a specially-crafted toothpaste for children, and an educational YouTube channel - with the aim of making learning about dental health both 'educational and fun.'

The star who grew up in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and attended City College Norwich, said: "As a child I went to school here.

"I still have a true passion for the area as I still have many friends here now having children across all of Norwich and Norfolk."

With 10 years of experience in dental nursing, Mr Curtis is keen to support struggling dental surgeries and do his part to help.

He said: "I want to help as much as possible, starting at schools and helping with at-home preventative care."

Schools that are interested in hearing from the Icybear Dental team are encouraged to get in touch.
