NewsPosted by: Dental Design 8th February 2021
Addressing the issue of childhood tooth decay, will involve some difficult conversations with parents and carers. Oral-B has worked with the University of Leeds to develop a range of material to help dental professionals address the issue in a positive, non-judgemental way, which will help foster on-going good oral health habits amongst children. Establishing tooth brushing and healthy eating in early childhood is a strong predictor of oral health in adult life.
The material is available to download on Oral-B’s professional website, www.dentalcare.co.uk. There’s a range of age specific leaflets for those who prefer hard copies for patients to take home. Alternatively, those wanting a digital format can download one of several videos, which include guidance and tips for cleaning, explaining why baby teeth do matter, and the importance of healthy eating.
