At the Oral Health Foundation, we are dedicated to improving the oral health of young children. From brushing their first tooth, to their first trip to the dentist, a child's oral health plays a key part in their early year's wellbeing.
That’s why we focus on bringing oral health to all in the classroom. We have a full range of resources available for every key stage, as well as creating the opportunity to become a dental buddy or find one in your local area.
