The importance of looking after teeth and gums. Encouragement to build healthy habits early. You could also: Use visuals, props or short videos. Invite questions from pupils. Link the message to wider wellbeing themes. Assemblies can help make oral health feel like a normal part of school life. Manage Cookie Preferences
