Tooth Fairy Shares Dental Tips in Rural Dungannon

May 2014

The tooth fairy joined children, teachers, classroom assistants and parents to share dental tips and to highlight the importance of regular visits to the dentist at a dental information event held 9 May in Clogher Valley Community Centre.
Three dental students from Queen’s University, Belfast, were also on hand to give advice on preventing tooth decay, caring for teeth and gums, the importance of attending the dentist, the sugar content in certain foods and drinks, and ideas for healthy snacks. During the event children enjoyed a visit from Peppa Pig who promoted brushing teeth twice a day, as well as a puppet show, arts and crafts, and storytelling sessions aimed at helping children understand why they need to look after their teeth and gums……..
