Dental Hygiene

We had a visit from the Dental Nurse regarding our dental hygiene and what we can do to cut down on the amount of damage we are doing to our teeth.

WARNING - some very unpleasant photographs, but these are what could happen to our own teeth if we don't look after them.

After our informative input, Primary 5 (and Mrs Borzacchiello) are going to make a huge effort to cut down on our sugary snacks that we have at playtime. A small treat after a meal is the best time to eat sugar so we are aiming to have a sugar-free snack each day. Some examples are:

a piece of fruit

breadsticks

natural yoghurt

plain rice cakes

carrot sticks

cheese

crackers
