Oral health toolkit to support children in care launched

2 mins read Children's dentistry
A practical guide for Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) offering recommendations on oral health for looked after children has just been published by the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD).

The toolkit supports ICBs, Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), and key stakeholders in children’s oral health in identifying oral health needs and planning and delivering dental services for looked after children.

The toolkit was written by a working group that came together to share practical examples of activities and programmes that have been implemented in different regions of the UK. It contains personal reflections and case studies embedded in the document which provide practical and real examples of activities and programmes that have been implemented in different regions of the UK.

Whilst BSPD has not initiated this document, the society supports the publication of this toolkit as part of the drive to ensure that the oral health needs of looked after children are prioritised.
