Dental Health Week 5th - 11th August 2024 

The campaign focuses on the importance of taking steps to care for our teeth and gums to help us keep our teeth and smile for life. It also focuses on ways we can care for our children's teeth and support them to form healthy oral habits early in their life.

The official website has a number of great resources to use in the classroom including a word match, find a word, fill in the blanks, crossword and even a science experiment!
