Looking after your children's teeth

Here's the latest advice from the NHS on looking after your children's teeth

The National Institute for Health and Care Research have developed an oral health support package called toothPASTE, specifically for families with young autistic children.

It's a free, online resource developed with parents and professionals to support autistic children’s oral health but also relevant to many children with additional needs. It includes small, practical steps to help with toothbrushing, reducing sugary foods and drinks, and attending dental appointments.

The resources are autism-informed, non-judgemental, and easy to use.
