Over a quarter (27 per cent) of parents whose child required emergency dental treatment say their child has missed a half day (three to four hours) due to emergency dental treatment, with one-in-10 reporting full school days were missed due to this, finds Denplan’s Oral Healthcare Report. The data comes as children are reportedly missing more school than ever before.
The research is from one of the most comprehensive surveys into habits and attitudes in UK dentistry, surveying over 5,000 adults on their dental habits and those of their family.
Denplan has announced a £100,000 donation to its charity partner Dentaid, which will expand its oral health education programme, BrightBites, to a minimum of 90,000 UK school-aged children.
