In England, one-fourth of five-year-old children experience tooth decay, with rates doubling to 50% in deprived areas. This condition imposes substantial burdens, causing pain, altering eating habits, speech, and impacting quality of life, self-esteem, and social confidence in children. Moreover, decay affects school readiness and attendance, with over 33,000 children annually admitted to hospitals for treatment, costing the NHS over ￡50 million each year. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) emphasises promoting good oral health due to the prevalence of tooth decay in young children, particularly in deprived areas, which can cause significant pain, eating, and sleeping issues, impacting attendance. Supervised toothbrushing programs are effective in maintaining oral hygiene. The BRUSH Project offers a toolkit comprising new and existing resources to facilitate supervised toothbrushing programs, catering to early years settings.

Getting ready for back-to-school season? ?? Pediatrician Dr. Michael Coffey suggests easing your child into their school routine by adjusting bedtimes in 30-minute increments to help them wake up earlier. Also, gradually reduce screen time and set consistent meal times to align with their school schedule. These small changes can make a big difference in helping kids adapt smoothly. ??? #BackToSchool #HealthyHabits #RoutineAdjustments

Back-to-school can be exciting for kids and parents. Predictable routines, reconnecting with friends, and getting back to learning can be good for everyone. But earlier bedtimes, juggling morning schedules, and more exposure to germs can also make September a challenging month for families. If germs are getting you down this fall, don’t forget that you can skip the wait at walk-in clinics or emergency rooms. Our On-Demand Virtual Care Service can help diagnose many non-emergency conditions for children ages two and up and is available for on-demand virtual care 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.
