This booklet teaches children how to keep their smiles healthy and strong. Created with specialist healthcare experts, it explains why dental hygiene is important for your child.
Inside, you will find:
- Understanding Tooth Decay: A simple look at how “bacteria bugs” and sugar can cause holes in teeth and make gums sore.
- The Bacteria Bug Army: Fun ways to think about brushing, using your toothbrush as a sword and toothpaste as a protective shield.
- Healthy Habits: Advice on choosing water over sugary drinks and sticking to a routine of three meals and two healthy snacks a day.
- Top Brushing Tips: Why you should brush for two minutes twice a day and why it is best to “spit, don’t rinse”.
- The booklet also features fun activities, such as a word search and a maze, to help children learn about tooth-friendly foods.
Please note: This information supports the advice from your clinical team but does not replace it. Always speak to your haemophilia centre before making changes to your care.
