Oral Dental Health
Lawdale parents attended the Oral Health Dental Workshop organised by the home support team to find out ways to protect their teeth and their children’s teeth.
They really enjoyed taking part in an activity where they had to guess how much sugar different drinks contained. It was surprising to them to know that certain foods and drinks they thought were healthy, are actually damaging for their teeth. The speaker also demonstrated how to effectively brush your teeth and handed out leaflets and free toothpaste.
The children also took part by filling out a questionnaire – we were able to see how much knowledge each year group have on teeth.
