Brush your teeth twice a day....
We are sending home a tooth brushing chart for your child to complete over the period of a week. Once your chart is complete return it to nursery and a certificate will be presented to your child. This will help your child get into a good routine of brushing their teeth twice a day.
Advice around tooth brushing....
A smear of toothpaste containing 1000
parts per million (ppm) fluoride should
be used for children under 3 years.
Do not reapply if paste is swallowed.
A pea sized amount of toothpaste
containing 1350-1500 parts per
million (ppm) fluoride should be used
for children aged over 3 years. Do
not reapply if paste is swallowed.
Toothpaste
Fluoride toothpaste has been proven to prevent decay.
A good all round total family toothpaste is fine and available from supermarkets and
chemists. It is not necessary to use a specialist children’s toothpaste.
