School visit for National Smile Month

It is a staggering thought, but in Primary Schools across the UK around eight or nine children in every class will have already developed tooth decay. That’s approaching a quarter of a million children in each primary school year and around 3.3 million young people aged 0-14 years.
National Smile Month is the perfect occasion to put oral health back on the classroom agenda and teach valuable oral health education.
If you’re a dental or health professionals, arrange a visit to a local school during National Smile Month. It is a wonderful way to participate in the campaign and forming a partnership with nearby schools in the long-run would definitely benefit the children.
Each year we have around 1,000 schools, from Early Years’ Education, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two get involved in National Smile Month. Visits from local dental practices and other health outlets is a great way to engage children in the correct messages they can take home and even into adulthood....
