This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Business Support Team Leader, Menhaz Hussain, for the attention of all Early Years settings and Nurseries.
Slough Healthy Smiles has been working in partnership with Slough Borough Council across Slough and we would love to work with your settings to raise awareness of the importance of oral health for the families you work with both in terms of oral health but also in terms of the impact that the risk factors that can affect oral health can have on the general health of individuals including the risk of diabetes, cancer and obesity. Around 41 % of 5 year olds and 26 % of three year olds in Slough have decay and in England a child has an operation roughly every ten minutes to have teeth removed. Many of these 170 operations a day could be prevented and we would love to work with your teams to prevent children having to go through this.
More details can be found on the attached newsletter.
