Do you brush children's teeth in your provision?
We used to - we were given brushes and paste by our local dental health team and we brushed the children's teeth with them every day after lunch... then we were advised to stop for reasons I cannot fully remember (it was a long time ago).
Now it seems, according to a recent study, that tooth brushing in provisions has had a positive impact on children and parents ... I wonder if we'll be advised to start doing it again? :D
