Teesside nurseries donate a toothbrush to every child in bid to tackle decaying teeth in toddlers

In celebration of National Brush Day, Rosedene Nurseries donated a toothbrush to all of its children and focused activities around the importance of tooth-brushing and maintaining oral health. The nurseries received oral health training, visited the local dentists, practised teeth brushing and shared tips with parents.

National Brush Day is an annual initiative, which is conveniently celebrated the day after Halloween to reinforce good brushing habits as part of maintaining excellent oral health. It provides an opportunity for dental professionals to engage with the community and educate children about the significance of regular brushing and dental check-ups.

The children from Rosedene Guisborough Nursery took a trip to the Vitality Guisborough dental clinic, where the hygienist captivated the young audience with interactive sessions that simplified the science of teeth and gums in a way that children could understand and enjoy.
