Oral health

Good oral habits start early: learn how to care for your child's teeth and gums to prevent problems and build lifelong dental health.

Toothbrushing reward chart

Make brushing fun with our colourful tooth chart. Each time your child brushes their teeth, let them colour in one tooth. The goal is to colour all 14 teeth for a full week of brushing twice daily.

Brushing basics

Help your child brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Follow age-specific guidelines for the correct amount and brushing technique.

Visiting the dentist

NHS dental care for children is free. Regular check-ups help catch problems early. Seek prompt care for dental emergencies.

Teething support

Teething can be challenging. Provide safe teething toys and know when to seek help for unusual symptoms.
