Schools provide an important setting for promoting health which can easily be integrated into general health promotion, school curriculum and activities. Health promoting messages can be reinforced throughout the most influential stages of children’s lives, enabling them to develop lifelong sustainable attitudes, behaviours and skills. The health and wellbeing of school staff, families and community members can also be enhanced by programmes based in schools. Oral health is fundamental to general health and wellbeing. A healthy mouth enables an individual to speak, eat and socialize without experiencing active disease, discomfort or embarrassment. Poor oral health impacts on children’s confidence, language and personal, social and emotional development. Tackling poor oral health is a priority for Public Health England (PHE) under the national priority of ensuring that every child has the Best Start in Life. This online tool brings together a selection of oral health resources linked to key curriculum themes to support planned educational activities to increase oral health knowledge and encourage positive oral health practices.

Toothbrushing
Brush last thing at night and at least on one other occasion.
Brush at least twice daily, with a fluoridated toothpaste.
Use fluoridated toothpaste containing 1,350-1,500 parts per million fluoride.
It is good practice to use only a pea size amount of fluoride paste.
Spit out after brushing and do not rinse, to maintain fluoride concentration levels.
Use either manual or powered toothbrush with small toothbrush head and medium texture.
Children who establish good brushing habits from an early age generally have less dental decay.
