Fun way to learn about children's tooth care

Wednesday, May 8, 2002

Helping pre-school children and their parents realise the importance of looking after teeth is the aim of a new oral health education pack. Tooth Time, launched by the British Dental Health Foundation, is based on a resource pack written by staff at Victory Nursery in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. It uses practical activities and play, including singing, painting, visits and stories, to encourage children to regularly brush their teeth, eat foods low in sugar and have regular visits to the dentist.
