Open Wide...What's Inside? Dentist Alex Rushworth's humorous book about Sugarbugs, rotters with horrible habits, fills a cavity in the children's book market.








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






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.




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/…




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











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.
