NEW Oral Health Promotion Resources

Doncaster Public Health has developed Oral Health Promotion resources for primary school children in Doncaster.

Local picture

  • Doncaster local authority has levels of decay that are higher than the average for England.
  • 1/3 of all children show signs of dental decay.

Why do we need to promote oral health?

  • Fewer general anesthetics for tooth decay
  • Fewer sleepless nights
  • Fewer missed school days and days off work for parents
  • Less pain from tooth decay
  • Reductions in the numbers of children with tooth decay
  • A reduction in the oral health gap for disadvantaged families

 

Doncaster Public Health has developed 2 resource packages – Key Stage 1(Year 1 and 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to Year 6). The purpose is to promote good oral health and healthy eating behaviors from the early years of life.
