In Preparation for the New Academic Year

In preparation for the new academic year, the Oral Health Foundation has given its free oral education program for children in school and nursery a fresh look.

Preventing problems by educating yourself about oral health is essential. Each child should be taught the correct behaviors and acquire the knowledge necessary to maintain a healthy smile. When you’re young, your brain is still growing, making it the best time to develop new habits.

Introducing Dental Buddy

Dental Buddy is a fun and engaging way to teach children about good oral hygiene. The colorful and dynamic presentations come with lesson plans designed to take children on an adventure, complete with instructions and experiments they can do. The children learn how to take care of their teeth and gums.

Easy to Use for Educators and Parents

The plans can be taught or followed without any prior knowledge of oral health. The Dental Buddy program provides all the tools and resources needed to become an oral health educator in a classroom or at home.

Teaching Children About Oral Health

As they grow up, children are curious and eager to learn. Teach your children how to take care of their teeth!

Educational Resources

Dental Buddy provides educational resources for Early Years’ education and Key Stage One. These include interactive presentations, lesson plans, and activity sheets. You can download them for free from our site.

Key Messages of the Program

The message that this program conveys to children is very simple:

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes.
• Learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and the importance of limiting your consumption of sugary foods and drinks.
• Visit your dentist regularly to maintain good oral hygiene.
