Many thanks to Dr John Walsh and Professor Albert Leung for the warm welcome @facdentistry @Fulbright_Eire Children's Dental Health Awareness Event. A great opportunity to showcase our resources - free for dental teams @HSELive @roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen @benoit_varenne

We believe dental caries and obesity must be tackled together. Child obesity & #DentalDecay are more common among UK children living in deprived areas.
The Society supports sugar taxation to address these diseases & #FreeSchoolMeals to ensure every child has a healthy lunch.

Emma Ryan is the winner of our Bursary 2022 at @ohprg for her project ‘Keep Smiling; Think Before You Eat & Drink’ which is an initiative to address free sugar consumption. Many congrats Emma! 🏆 #OHPRG2022
