@Mr_Husky1 It’s $15. But it. Alter it. See if you love it. If you do, that’s all that matters.

The Husky@Mr_Husky1·
Kind of love this $15 dress from the 70’s that I found out goodwill but all my friends hate it! Is it that bad? Need honest opinions. I know my opinion is the only one that should matter, but I want to look beautiful on my wedding day! I also found a tag on this dress indicating that it was made by women in a women’s union in the U.S., and I feel like that special historical context may be clouding my judgement. I love the idea of the dress and how unique it is, but a few friends have said it looks “matronly.” It was only $15 so would love to hear from some unbiased girlies! Credit - niamh Duncan

Clearly marked as Kitchen Roll, @evrisupportline, left this parcel rested half in/half out of the shed…in the pouring rain. Plenty of room for all of it to be safe and dry. @WhoGivesACrapTP should be their tagline.

This week is Oral Health Week in Reception, the children have enjoyed listening to the story `Open Wide` by Alex and Helen Rushworth. The children really enjoyed listening to the antics of the sugarbugs! @Sugarbugs

@oflynnsocial This is such an odd comment. Primary teeth are still teeth. They need twice daily brushing and a healthy diet. They still decay, become abscessed and cause pain. Instilling good habits at an early stage, we can give these children healthy teeth for life. And their children too

@JamesBullLabour It’s been like this for far too long. I used to do the BASCD surveys and general anaesthetics for tooth extraction. It’s why I wrote Open Wide… in an attempt to make a change. 10000 copies sold but so many more children could benefit 🦷💩📘🪥

1 in 5 five-year-olds have tooth decay in the UK. That’s why the government have launched a supervised toothbrushing scheme. Here’s how we’re putting an end to childhood tooth decay 👇

How can this be a bad thing? Sparing 000’s of kids being hospitalised for tooth decay? Government agrees ground-breaking partnership with Colgate which will see more than 23 million toothbrushes and toothpastes donated to support the programme  gov.uk/government/new…

Very excited to see the Government announcement of dedicated funding to support the roll out of supervised toothbrushing programmes in England. Very positive news for children's oral health. Great to see our research paper nature.com/articles/s4141… in both BBC and ITV articles.
BBC Breakfast@BBCBreakfast

School and nursery staff in the most deprived areas of England will be asked to supervise young children while they brush their teeth. Health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson had more details on #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@markinneswilli @Keir_Starmer When millions are spent each year to extract teeth under general anaesthetic, this is a really easy way to start a massive change. 🦷💩📘🪥

The main reason our children go to hospital shouldn’t be rotting teeth. I promised that my government would fix this. Today we are launching a supervised toothbrushing scheme, so children across the country have a lifetime of good dental health.

@TheBDA This is such a great thing to happen. 60,000 school days are lost every year due to poor dental health - so let’s give theses kids a chance to have better. And to pass better on to their children and their grandchildren. Change has to start somewhere. 📘💩🦷🪥

It’s rare to find something to smile about in dentistry these days. But supervised tooth brushing is tried-and-tested policy that will save children from pain & our NHS a fortune. The only concern is why it’s taken a century to get here. Ministers need to go further & faster.

@RogersHistory But maybe we need to make better parents for the generations to come. These children deserve good oral health.

Todays news - Mass 'supervised toothbrushing in schools’. The responsibility for tasks such as these continue to be passed onto the teacher and away from parents/society. Add that to toilet training, having basic manners, picking up ones own litter etc etc. 'It’s ok, teachers can do it!'. They shouldn't have to, and due to time constraints, they can't do it all!

@DHSCgovuk @educationgovuk Open Wide… was part of @Keir_Starmer and @wesstreeting’s activities when they visited a school to talk dental health. We would love it to be a part of this campaign too. Meeting KS1 curriculum goals and making children really want to brush. 🦷💩📘🪥

“I welcome this move,” says @EddieCrouch “It’s been proven to significantly reduce tooth decay among children.” In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 supervised tooth brushing isn’t ’nanny state’ or a ‘burden’ on teaching staff - it’s a part of the routine. And it works! 👉 bda.org/news-and-opini…
