Everything crossed #teamBradford#BradfordBabiesBrushing#smilesforlife

During the pandemic, schools were closed. So we launched Bradford babies brush for the day nurseries that were still open. We provided training and equipment so the children could brush once a day in nursery. And now we are finalists at the Clinical dentistry awards!😁@BDCFT

[Sharon Walker @SharonSwalker]

Certainly made me smile ! Some excellent things happening in Bradford for smilemonth @dentalhealthorg

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

Ruth visited Shibden head day nursery and they are supporting national smile month by creating a big smile for children to get messy with! Excellent idea!  And todays top tip: Use a fluoride toothpaste twice a day to help reduce decay😁 @smilemonth @BDCFT

[Sharon Walker @SharonSwalker]

The amazing Bradford Community Dental Service and the lovely Kiera 😊#nationalsmilemonth

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

Here is our fantastic community dental service supporting National smile month. The lovely Kiera was given a well-deserved toothbrush pack by Tess & Julie. And her favourite colour is Pink! #everyonedeservesasmile @smilemonth @BDCFT @bradfordmdc

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

We are supporting National Smile Month because a healthy mouth means a healthy body. Brushing is so important to maintain good oral health
Brush your teeth last thing at night and at one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste #SmileMonth @BDCFT @dentalhealthorg

If everyone in England halved there sugar intake, in 5 years we could save the NHS £500m every year.Reducing sugar can reduce the risk of complex and costly health treatments. Which could prevent 4,000 early deaths and 200,000 cases of tooth decay a year. #gofizzfree @BDCFT

[Sharon Walker @SharonSwalker]

Excellent partnership working with @Skills4Bradford

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

An excellent virtual oral health session delivered this evening to early years providers . A key opportunity to talk about the mandated early years foundation stage foundation framework and the updated DBOH @annemariedorri2 @jo_howes @jenny_godson #mouthcarematters #earlyyears

[AnneMarie Dorrington @annemariedorri2]

Thanks for sharing Hannah’s support with the wider oral health community @dentalhealthorg what a beautiful smile @HCDream2012 has 😁🪥

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

It’s National Smile Month - the perfect opportunity to reassess your oral health . Top tip - after brushing spit don’t rinse . Fluoride will help protect our teeth @BDCFT #Smilemonth

[Bradford Healthy Smiles Oral Health Improvement @BDCFToralhealth]

A top tip during National smile month is to choose a healthy snack that’s low in sugar to help reduce tooth decay and keep your body healthy. #smilemonth @BDCFT

An email received from a carehome who took part in the care home oral health mentorship pilot. Sometimes a simple ‘thank you’ goes a long way. Feeling very proud that we made a difference to how mouthcare is delivered in this Bradford care home #mouthcarematters @BDCFT
