Online resources to help dental teams engage with parents about childhood tooth decay

Oral-B has worked with the University of Leeds to develop a range of material to help dental professionals address the issue of childhood tooth decay with parents and carers.

The resources offer help to dental teams looking to engage in a positive, non-judgmental way in the hope it will foster on-going good oral health habits amongst children.

Establishing toothbrushing and healthy eating in early childhood is a strong predictor of oral health in adult life.

The material is available to download on Oral-B’s professional website, www.dentalcare.co.uk.

There are a range of age-specific leaflets for those who prefer hard copies for patients to take home.

Alternatively, those wanting a digital format can download one of several videos, which include guidance and tips for cleaning, explaining why baby teeth do matter, and the importance of healthy eating.
