It's important that young children are made aware of good oral hygiene. As part of their nursery education, children should be taught to brush their teeth properly. They should also be introduced to a healthy diet.

Childsmile is a Scotland-wide programme to reduce inequalities in oral health and ensure access to dental services for every child across the country. For further information about Childsmile, click here to visit the website.
