This summer, take on the Big Family Brush-Up!
24th June - 31st August 2019
Our Big Family Brush Up celebrity ambassador, Julia Bradbury, visited the dentist to learn more about good oral healthcare for her family.
We know that many families could use a helping hand in taking care of their children’s teeth. In fact, in a recent Simplyhealth survey*, almost two thirds of UK parents (64%) said that getting their children to brush for two minutes, twice a day, was a challenge. That’s why we created the Big Family Brush-Up!
From 24th June to the end of August, we're challenging families to really focus on their brushing habits for a four-week period, to ensure your children are brushing thoroughly for two minutes, twice a day. All they need to do is fill in their brushing charts every morning and night for four weeks.
We've got lots of handy tips on this site and in our Little Book of Healthy Smiles information booklet to help your children to brush thoroughly, as well as ideas to make brush time fun!
