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. Using Fluorides Control Of Improving Effective Tobacco and Substances Oral Oral Health Hygiene Sugars in the Diet 2 Public Key Oral Health Messages 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. 3 Public Diet The frequency and amount of intake of sugars should be reduced. Keep sugars to mealtimes. Try and aim for no more than four episodes of sugar intakes each day. Encourage water between meals. Avoid sugar containing foods and drinks at bedtime when saliva flow is reduced and buffering capacity is lost. Visiting a Dentist Visit the dentist at least once a year or more often, if recommended. Find a dentist at NHS Choices to access regular dental care or recommendation from family and friends. Visit Dental Trauma to find out what to do if a child knocks a tooth out at school. 4 Public Alcohol/ Smoking Tobacco use , both smoking and chewing tobacco seriously affects general and oral health. The most significant effect on the mouth is oral cancers and pre-cancers. Avoid smoking and shisha pipes. Avoid smokeless tobacco (e.g. paan, chewing tobacco, gutkha). Drinking alcohol above recommended levels adversely affects general and oral health with the most significant oral health impact being the increased risk of oral cancer. Reduce alcohol consumption to low risk (recommended) levels. 5 Public Oral Health links to the Early Years Foundation Stage 6 Public Early Years Oral Health links to the Early Years Foundation Stage Personal, Social Communication Physical and Emotional and Language Development Development • Motivation • Organising and • Encourages • Engagement sequencing a task health and self • Gains confidence • Listening and care and attention skills • Encourages independence • Speech sounds handling and • Maintaining focus dexterity skills on a task • Hand/eye • Joining in with coordination peers Lesson Plans: Early Years Foundation - Unit 1 (Brush our teeth) Early Years Foundation - Unit 2 (Visit the dentist) (Click to view) 7 Public Oral Health links to the National Curriculum 8 Public Key Stage 1 Science - Animals including humans Year one: •‘identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense.’ Year two: • ‘… eating the right amounts of different types of food, and hygiene.’ Lesson Plans: Key Stage One - Unit 1 (Looking after teeth) Key Stage One - Unit 2 (Visit the dentist) Key Stage One - Unit 3 (Importance of diet) (Click to view) 9 Key Stage 2 Public Science - Animals including humans Year three: • '...right types and amounts of nutrition.'
