The oral health team are busy out and about in Bradford and Keighley . This week they are supporting schools to encourage children to brush their teeth morning and night with a fluoride toothpaste @smilemonth @BDCFT

What a fabulous event at Farcliffe Children’s Centre! Lots of dental checks , oral health pledges and binned baby bottles @BDCFT @BetterStartBfd @bspduk #teamBradford #teethforlife

Bradford Babies Bin the Bottle campaign had a fantastic day yesterday at Barkerend Family hub. Parents/carers came to bin their baby’s bottles and swap it for a feeder cup, some little ones even had a dental check 😊 bit.ly/3W7REqR #BinTheBottle @BDCFT/@BetterStartBfd


During the pandemic, schools were closed. So we launched Bradford babies brush for the day nurseries that were still open. We provided training and equipment so the children could brush once a day in nursery. And now we are finalists at the Clinical dentistry awards!😁@BDCFT

Ruth visited Shibden head day nursery and they are supporting national smile month by creating a big smile for children to get messy with! Excellent idea! And todays top tip: Use a fluoride toothpaste twice a day to help reduce decay😁 @smilemonth @BDCFT

Here is our fantastic community dental service supporting National smile month. The lovely Kiera was given a well-deserved toothbrush pack by Tess & Julie. And her favourite colour is Pink! #everyonedeservesasmile @smilemonth @BDCFT @bradfordmdc





An excellent virtual oral health session delivered this evening to early years providers . A key opportunity to talk about the mandated early years foundation stage foundation framework and the updated DBOH @annemariedorri2 @jo_howes @jenny_godson #mouthcarematters #earlyyears

It was fantastic that Hannah Cockroft MBE gave her support and smile with @BDCFT #smilemonth










The Oral health care home mentorship programme aims to support staff in providing excellent mouthcare. Today, was a special day as we shared knowledge and skills with care homes across Bradford and they have all pledged to promote oral care with their co workers & carers @BDCFT

Fantastic feedback from a couple of the nurseries signed up to Bradford babies brush campaign. They have implemented toothbrushing within their nurseries, Its easy when you know how! 😁 #letstalkteeth #babyteethmatter @duncancooper10 @BDCFT @jenny_godson
