Promoting Good Oral Health in the Early Years

September 2021 brought with it the introduction of the New Revised Framework in the Early Years. This has included a new requirement to the safeguarding and welfare requirements to promote good oral health of children. This does not mean overnight we are expected to become dentists or that we should be checking children’s teeth, however there are many ways that we can support children’s oral health.

Embracing Schemas

“Thomas tips the basket of pom poms on the floor that you have just picked up for the 10th time in the last 30 minutes, your body sighs involuntary as you turn to assess the mess. You smile at Thomas, as he says “again, again” and begins to eagerly pick up all the items and place them back into the basket. Giving you a cheeky point counting as you throw them back into the basket. Thomas eagerly copies throwing the small pom poms.”
