It's all about teeth this week!

Oral hygiene is an important part of keeping ourselves healthy. Did you know that 1 in 5 children in England has experienced tooth decay by the age of 5? This is a concerning statistic, and we at the nursery want to support the children in understanding why brushing their teeth is so important.

Throughout the week, we have been taking part in activities and sharing stories that promote good oral hygiene. The children have been learning that they should brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. We were also visited by a lovely lady called Lucy from Dentaid, who helped to support and develop our understanding of oral health. She gave each child a new toothbrush and toothpaste to take home.

Please support us by continuing these positive habits at home and encouraging your child to brush their teeth every morning and evening.
