Oral Health and Hygiene

On Thursday, we had a visit from the Children's Centre. They taught us some songs about how to brush our teeth to keep them nice and clean. They gave out a little pack with a toothbrush, toothpaste and information booklet so we can brush our teeth at home. We also practised brushing our teeth using tuff tray activities.

Key Messages:

• Brush your teeth twice a day

• An adult should support you brushing your teeth

• Spend 2 minutes brushing your teeth

• Bottles and dummys are not good for your teeth.

• Avoid too many sugary drinks and food such as sweets, fruit shoots and chocolate.

• Always brush your teeth before going to bed.

• After brushing your teeth before bed, only have a sip of water - no juice or other drinks

• Make sure you visit the dentist regularly.
