Good oral health supports children to eat, speak and socialise without disease, discomfort or embarrassment. Yet in the UK today, around 25% of five year olds have tooth decay, much of which is untreated. Book our Oral Health Promotion training to explore the factors that can impact on children’s oral health, such as diet, tooth brushing and dental visits. You’ll learn useful tips and strategies to help you support families in looking after their children’s teeth.
