Oral Health Promotion
£36.00
Good oral health supports children to eat, speak and socialise without disease, discomfort or embarrassment. Yet in the UK today, around 25% of five year olds have tooth decay, much of which is untreated. Book our Oral Health Promotion training to explore the factors that can impact on children’s oral health, such as diet, tooth brushing and dental visits. You’ll learn useful tips and strategies to help you support families in looking after their children’s teeth.

Testimonial
“I found this course very useful. It helped me understand the importance of good oral health for children and families. I learned practical information about tooth-friendly drinks, brushing routines, and suitable cups. The course has increased my confidence in supporting good oral health in early years settings. I will apply this knowledge by promoting good oral health routines in my setting, encouraging children to drink water and milk, supporting regular toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste, and sharing information with families about healthy habits and dental visits.” Ingrida, Little Amber Nursery, 2026
