Overview

‘Brush your Teeth’ is a new national nutrition and oral health education programme for children. It is unique and full of innovative ideas and support materials to enable children to acquire knowledge and understanding about the importance of, and the need for, good oral health care.


Each programme provides an abundance of support materials and activities that can be quickly and easily accessed by practitioners, school staff and children.


Resource book/user guide and CD ROM

With children in mind the ‘Brush your Teeth’ programmes are beautifully illustrated and look fun and exciting to use.


The user guide gives a clear understanding about the activities adults can do with children. It also signposts the user to where they can access relevant information and support materials from the CD ROM in order to deliver the programmes with confidence.


Many of the suggested activities have a wide range of differentiation in order to accommodate children’s needs and abilities.


Music CD

Children have a natural love for music and love to perform. Children will naturally use their creative imaginations to make up simple movement responses to express their ideas and feelings and to make up actions that reflect the key messages in the songs i.e. cleaning of their teeth, visiting the dentist.


Through the use of key vocabulary, fun lyrics, repetition and upbeat music this CD may also help with children’s language development.


‘Brush your Teeth’ aims to provide opportunities for adults and children to connect through the interactive games, activities and songs.
