Mouth Heroes for Schools
Welcome to Mouth Heroes for Schools, our new teaching resource for children aged 5–9 years. It gives teachers everything they need to deliver engaging lessons to make sure children take good care of their teeth and mouth.
Tooth decay is preventable, yet it is the most common childhood disease. Toothie, our child-friendly spokesperson for Mouth Heroes, takes children on an exciting journey to develop important health-related life skills.
By the end of their Mouth Heroes work, children will understand how to take care of their mouth, beware of certain foods that can harm their teeth and body, take greater responsibility for their own oral health and feel empowered to practice healthy behaviours – now and in the future.
