Please see links below to the main website for further details and to the primary and secondary resources.
Poor oral health can affect children and young people’s ability to sleep, eat, speak, play and socialise with other children. When children have toothache or need treatment, this can mean absence from school and parents having to take time of work. Oral health is an integral part of overall health, which affects children’s ability to learn, thrive and develop.
There is still a great deal of variation of tooth decay across the UK.
*A third of all children starting school each year have signs of tooth decay. Tooth extractions are the biggest reason children are admitted to hospital for general anaesthetics.
*There has been a 19.6% increase in children being admitted to hospital with tooth decay between 2010 and 2015.
*In England, children and young people drink sugary soft drinks more often than anywhere else in Europe.
*Roughly 40% of children still do not visit the dentist each year
*74% of adults have had to have a tooth extracted.
*1 in 3 people have never flossed their teeth
Brushing x1 daily means you are 33% more likely to suffer from dental decay
Please find attached below a list of dentists in the Solihull borough that are currently registering NHS patients and a quick poster that promotes good oral health.
