It is our policy to actively promote high standards of oral health by actively encouraging tooth friendly eating and good habits of personal and oral hygiene.
Dental decay is the most common oral disease affecting children in the UK, and it is largely preventable (excerpt from Public Health England). Educating children in Early Years about the importance of Oral Health and through raising awareness we together can help to install good practices for the future of children in society.
Oral Health Curriculum
- Oral health is included in the curriculum and in any learning opportunities where appropriate.
- We arrange visits from a dentist/oral health professional to talk to the children about the importance of Oral Health.
- We are aiming for at least two visits annually to support our Oral Health Policy
- Dental health will feature as a theme prior to or after these visits, (e.g. dentist's corner, stories, songs, etc).
- Good oral hygiene is promoted at all times
