Learning how to maintain an effective oral health routine should be part of every child’s education.

Supporting pupils to improve their oral health can:

  • Increase their confidence and self esteem
  • Increase school attendance and performance through decreased dental related absences
  • Enable young people to make good first impressions when seeking employment or moving on to further education
  • Improve children’s lifelong oral health

In this section you will find a range of resources to enhance children’s oral health knowledge and to support the development of good habits from a young age. Simply click on the relevant class group to find a range of age and stage appropriate class talk scripts, lesson plans and activities. To access the supportive materials to help you with the delivery of these lessons, please contact the NHS Grampian Health Information Resources Service.
