Continuing with the self care theme in the baby room. Babies have explored Oral Hygiene. They have been exposed to dental instruments, which they explored, toothbrushes and paste which they used clean germs away from the dental templates. The children also had the opportunity to clean their own teeth.How to promote good oral health You can decide how you promote oral health based on what works best with your child., like self-care, healthy eating, and physical development.Being playful with children can help to promote good oral health. There are a number of activities you can use to teach them about tooth brushing and care.Dentist role playTry setting up a dentist role play in your setting. This familiarises children with the dentist’s environment, equipment and processes.Practise tooth brushing on dolls and toysYou can show children how to do this yourself first to model effective tooth brushing.Brush model teethUse a set of model teeth or a laminated picture, and add playdough, marker pen or tissue paper to represent tooth plaque. Encourage the children to use a toothbrush to remove the ‘plaque’.Stories and discussionYou can read stories with children about teeth and smiles. These can cover important topics like visiting the dentist and brushing teeth. You should also discuss the foods and drinks that do and do not help to grow healthy, strong teeth with children.Talking tubs are a good way to promote conversations with children.

This can include play-based activities, outdoor exploration, and structured physical education sessions. Healthy Eating: Helping children understand the importance of a balanced diet and making healthy food choices is a key aspect of health and self-care. This can involve introducing them to a variety of fruits and vegetables, and encouraging them to try new foods. Hygiene: Developing good personal hygiene habits, such as handwashing, brushing teeth, and dressing, is essential for maintaining good health and promoting independence. Self-Care Skills: Supporting children to develop their self-care skills, such as dressing, undressing, and managing their own personal needs, fosters a sense of independence and self-efficacy. Mental Wellbeing:Daily Routines: Incorporating routine self-care habits into the daily schedule, such as getting dressed, tidying up, and washing hands, can help children develop a sense of responsibility and independence.
