Many young children experience poor oral health, often requiring admittance to hospital for a general anaesthetic to remove decayed teeth. To help address this and to inspire early years settings such as Children’s Centre’s, nurseries and primary schools to include dental health within their themes and activities, we can provide a box full to the brim of engaging and colourful resources.

The colourful jigsaws, model mouth, toothbrushes and 2-minute timers together with storybooks and much more all encourage children to get involved in active play. Staff also use the resources to promote the importance of establishing effective routines for young children and can use the materials to encourage and help parents.

Alongside the resources, we also provide colouring and activity sheets, templates for toothbrushing charts, diet and nutrition guidance, particularly the impact of sugar on children’s teeth as well as signposting to dental care providers.

A bespoke activity pack was also designed to encourage staff teams in early years settings to include dental wellbeing messages in themes and activities. Information cards, activity sheets, top tips, toothbrushing charts and much more will help staff to share prevention messages with families in fun and accessible ways.
