Taking your baby to the dentist when their teeth first come through or at least by the age of 1 gets them off to a healthy start & used to dental practice visits. So don't wait book up your babys 1st appointment before they turn 1! ow.ly/224y50RyyRV #DCby1 #babyteeth

When children and young people are in hospital it’s easy for #oralhealth to be forgotten. Two excellent videos from @AlderHey. Children themselves passing on great 🪥 advice and having lots of fun guessing sugar content of drinks🥤😄 @Mini_MCM #MiniMouthCareMatters
We have launched our #MiniMouthCareMatters campaign to help improve oral health of children & young people in hospital 🏥 When a child is in hospital, their oral health can be neglected. This can mean more infections & longer hospital stays. Find out more bit.ly/3SzUjcC

Tooth decay is the no.1 reason young children are admitted to hospital. Diet-related diseases are rising in children. We support @actiononsugar in calling on the Government to take sugar reduction seriously: ow.ly/mAOi50Q78il #SugarAwarenessWeek #childhealth
