Healthy Teeth

Our friendly Healthy Families team is here to offer practical and evidence-based support to help your child to grow up with a healthy smile. 

Healthy teeth workshops

We run regular parent workshops to share the most up-to-date guidance on healthy teeth with parents and carers. 

Would you like to:

• Understand the causes of tooth decay and how to prevent it?
• Get support to register with a dentist and find out what to expect
• Feel more confident about foods and drinks that are good for teeth
• Get some ideas to help toothbrushing become a fun time for the family

Workshops run at a variety of times and dates, both online and face-to-face. See our events calendar to find out more.
