Healthy Food and Teeth

Goal: Sort foods into everyday and sometimes foods and look after their teeth.

For parents: Avoid calling foods 'good' or 'bad'. 'Everyday foods' and 'sometimes foods' teaches balance without guilt.

Do together

  1. Everyday or sometimes?

    You need: Food packets and fruit from the kitchen

    Sort foods into two groups: everyday foods (fruit, vegetables, daal, roti, milk) and sometimes foods (sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks).

  2. Rainbow plate

    You need: Lunch

    How many colours can you get on your plate today? Count the colours of the fruit and vegetables.

  3. Our brushing routine

    You need: Your child's usual toothbrush and brushing supplies

    During your child's usual toothbrushing routine, stay with them and help with brushing. Talk about reaching the different tooth surfaces. Follow the guidance your family receives from its dental professional.
