Oral Health

 

Promoting oral health in early years is essential to protecting young teeth and establishing good habits.

There are three main themes in good dental health:

  • Keep sugary and acidic food and drinks to mealtimes
  • Brush teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Visit the dentist regularly

Is your child registered at a dentist?

Please speak to your child’s key person or management if you would like some help in finding a dentist to register your child.
