Tooth decay remains a problem in the UK despite efforts to encourage better brushing and trips to the dentist.
The prevention of tooth decay involves:
- Registering your child with a dentist early in life and visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups.
- A diet that is low in sugar and acid.
- Effective and regular tooth brushing.
- The regular use of fluoride containing toothpaste and mouth rinse.
- Educating yourself and your child about the topic.
Westminster City Council have produced an education video aimed at children.
Help us spread the word by showing this video with your children and sharing with others.
