Fantastic to see @zmarshman talking about her research @ShefDentistry with @LeedsPaedDent regarding school based tooth brushing which has had funding to be implemented in areas of deprivation! 🦷 @BBCNews

This is the biggest long shot of my life. But I simply have to try. Please, please share this. You just never know what might happen 🙏🏻 Can you possibly help @Se_Railway @RingGo_parking @kent_police & let me know what forms to fill in please. I’d be so very grateful.

42,000 children’s teeth were extracted in 2021/2022. Cost to NHS £81m 😳 Many complaints this morning about unacceptable hospital wait times for GA. 🤷Are we missing the point? Dental caries is a preventable disease. Let’s address the cause, not the problem @BOSbraces @bspduk

We recently visited St Joseph’s Catholic Primary school in North Shields. We hope the children enjoyed the visit and enjoyed learning about things such as sugary foods and drinks, how to brush teeth effectively and what visiting the dentist is like! Here are some pictures 🦷💙

Excellent piece by @timspector @thetimes on the importance of diet in the first years of life & power of misleading marketing. We’re kidding ourselves if we think our children are having a healthy diet. Babies & young children have the least agency to choose🚨👇

BrushUp was invited to the Discover Dentistry Day at the Centre for Life in early December. We were involved in many different stations and the Sugarbug show with @Sugarbugs which was hugely popular with visitors!

We got chance to read them Open Wide What’s Inside @Sugarbugs written by Dr Alex Rushworth which they really enjoyed! The children also dressed up as the ‘dentist’, practiced toothbrushing on models and learnt about sugary vs less sugary foods. (2/3)
