Paediatric dentists welcome 'sugary snack' toolkit

The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) has welcomed the new national campaign toe encourage healthier eating among children and reduce their sugar intake launched today by Public Health England today (2 January).

As part of the campaign, dentists are being provided with a free dental toolkit to act as a springboard for a discussion about dental prevention with parents and families. All chairs of Local Dental Networks have been notified about the toolkits and invited to encourage practices to apply early.

Claire Stevens, president of BSPD, said: 'It’s the first time in some years that dentistry has featured in such a high profile national public health campaign and this is real progress. It’s an important achievement for PHE’s Child Oral Health Improvement Programme Board led by Jenny Godson and of which BSPD is proud to be a member.'
