Oral Health
Nearly a quarter of 5-year-olds in England have tooth decay – but this is largely preventable.

Healthy Smiles Accreditation
The Healthy Smiles accreditation supports us to adopt tooth-friendly practices and activities. By implementing the five Healthy Smiles standards, we help to:
increase the dentist attendance of children in our care
promote positive oral health messages to our children, staff and parents
reduce the frequency of sugary food and drinks given to our children
All children should be registered and have visited a dentist before they reach 3 years of age.
