Barnsley’s children’s public health team offers primary schools and early years settings, such as family hubs and childcare locations funded by supervised toothbrushing clubs, to help develop good oral health habits from an early age.
Nationally, there has been a 17 per cent increase in the number of episodes of decay-related tooth extractions in hospitals for 0- to 19-year-olds compared to the previous financial year of 2021 to 2022. This increase is likely to reflect a continuing recovery of hospital services following the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Yorkshire and Humber region has some of the country's highest decay-related tooth extraction rates, at 405 per 100,000 population of 0 to 19-year-olds. The England rate is 236 per 100,000 population of 0- to 19-year-olds.
