We know that it is important to visit your dentist every 6 months to let them check your mouth, teeth and gums. Today we are thinking about what you can do to keep your teeth healthy at home through good oral hygiene and cutting down on sugar.
Activities
Complete a daily tooth brushing diary
Brush your teeth to your favourite two minute song
Create a poster showing others how to brush their teeth
Create sugar bags to show how much sugar is in food you enjoy. Find the number of grams on the nutrition panel under “Carbohydrate of which sugars” then divide this number by four to find the number of teaspoons
Challenge!
Swap some foods for similar less sugar ones, keep a track of the swaps and let us know how much sugar you reduced over the month.
