Keeping our teeth healthy

Can your pupils help Tilly the tooth become healthy and strong again logo

Research shows that a quarter of 5-year-olds already have tooth decay with an average of 3-4 teeth affected.

That’s why we created Keeping Our Teeth Healthy, an engaging, curriculum-linked science lesson plan exploring dental hygiene. The resource introduces your pupils to Tilly, a mighty molar who has turned into a troubled tooth and needs help making healthier dental choices.

These KS1 and KS2 PowerPoint presentations have been developed by teachers and dental experts. They also include a simple, fun science experiment which pupils can try at school or at home with their families.
