17th May 2021

This month is National Smile Month! ... Cheese Everyone! 

National Smile Month runs from 17th May – 17th June 2021 and is all about the benefits of having good oral health and promoting the value of a healthy smile.

A child’s first experiences with oral health can impact on the rest of their life.

Tooth decay can be prevented in young children. We need to start introducing them to good teeth brushing from an early age. 

* Brushing teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste.

* Limit sugary foods and drink.

* Visiting the dentist regularly.

Getting Ready to Learn's ‘Top Tips’ provides simple advice on caring for your child’s oral health.
