diesel10 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Did anyone watch the shocking programme on channel 4 last night. If you didn't it was the amount of rotten teeth that the NHS have to remove from preschool children that was the most shocking. I would really like to make a display around brushing teeth and avoiding sugary drinks. Does anyone know where I can get any posters / leaflets / other material to support this?

Guest Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Some counties have a leaflet centre where you could pick stuff up from. Otherwise try your local dentist. There is also the stop the rot campaign and I think Colgate may have a campaign too. Also maybe change for life website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony1985 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've seen a display done on Pinterest where a setting put up the empty bottles then put a ziplock bag of the amount of sugar in that drink underneath it to highlight just how much sugar is in kid's drinks.

Fredbear Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Our local dentists practice manager visits us. We have a brief discussion with the children on dental hygiene, healthy foods and drink. Then they can play with the puppets, masks etc. They often give out leaflets too for parent/carers and little dental care books for the children. We also have a playdough dental set, which can open discussions on teeth care. Have you looked on the Oral B site, or Colgate etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Your county should have an oral hygiene specialist...they may well come in and do talks/displays and provide posters for you....like cait i would also suggest the smile 4life campaign (you can get certificates for different levels if thats your thing) ...in this area it is a huge problem and there is a regular slot every thurday morning to remove children's teeth under the age of 5....AWFUL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
