Toothbrushing reward chart
Make brushing fun with our colourful tooth chart. Each time your child brushes their teeth, let them colour in one tooth. The goal is to colour all 14 teeth for a full week of brushing twice daily.
Oral health
Good oral habits start early: learn how to care for your child's teeth and gums to prevent problems and build lifelong dental health.
Brushing basics
Help your child brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Follow age-specific guidelines for the correct amount and brushing technique.
Visiting the dentist
NHS dental care for children is free. Regular check-ups help catch problems early. Seek prompt care for dental emergencies.
Encourage healthy eating habits
Limit sugary foods and drinks that cause tooth decay. Offer a balanced diet and water between meals instead.
Teething support
Teething can be challenging. Provide safe teething toys and know when to seek help for unusual symptoms.
