Oral Health

05/03/2026

World Oral Health Day is celebrated every year on 20 March to raise awareness about the importance of good oral hygiene and how it supports overall health and wellbeing.

Why Oral Health Matters for Children

Healthy teeth and gums help children to:

🦷 Eat and chew food comfortably
🗣 Develop clear speech
😁 Smile with confidence
🧠 Stay healthy and ready to learn

Poor oral health can lead to pain, infections and difficulty eating or sleeping.

Simple Oral Health Tips for Families

✔ Brush teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✔ Start brushing as soon as the first tooth appears
✔ Drink plenty of water instead of sugary drinks
✔ Choose healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables
✔ Visit the dentist regularly

For Young Children

Parents and carers should help brush children’s teeth until they are able to do it well on their own (usually around 7–8 years old).

🌙 Why Sleep Matters for Children 🌙

Sleep plays a really important role in a child’s growth, learning and wellbeing. When children get enough sleep, it helps them to:

✨ Grow and develop
💛 Feel calm and settled
🧠 Learn and remember new things
🌈 Manage big emotions

Young children generally need 10–14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period, depending on their age.

Creating a calm and consistent bedtime routine can help children feel safe, relaxed and ready for sleep each night.
