Caring for your baby’s teeth is one of many important responsibilities as you become a parent. The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD), the organisation dedicated to improving the oral health of children in the UK, has assembled the basic advice and information you might need about oral health in one concise leaflet.
DENTAL EDUCATION
FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
Teeth Team takes dental education directly to children by going into local primary schools. We help teach the students about healthy diets and dental hygiene and we also apply a fluoride varnish where required. With the help of dental superheroes Captain Incisor, Mighty Molar, K9, Baby Toof and Pre-Molar Girl, we help the children learn the importance of keeping their teeth healthy, whilst giving them an entertaining diversion from their daily timetable.
The programme is a well-established and nationally-recognised child dental health improvement initiative, facilitated within the City of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire in conjunction with 543 Dental Centre.
