Aquafresh Shine Bright

The latest campaign from Aquafresh School’s Club is here and helps children discover why good oral health is so important. Learn the key steps to good tooth brushing with help from Captain Aquafresh and the Tooth Fairy team at the Shine Bright Academy (a school where tooth guardians from around the world are trained).

Captain Aquafresh and the Chief Tooth Fairy need your children’s help! The tooth guardians are responsible for ensuring children’s teeth shine bright and grow strong. The newest recruits keep forgetting the steps to good teeth cleaning and it’s up to your pupils to help them remember.

Invite pupils to be part of the magical story with free, curriculum-linked resources. Then take part in the exciting Shine Bright competition. The resources are suitable for ages 4-7 across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and are also linked to the English and PSHE curricula.

The importance of oral care:

Public Health England (PHE) reports around one-in-four 5-year-olds suffer from dental decay.¹ Not knowing how to care for teeth properly, combined with a sugary or acidic diet can lead to tooth decay, which in turn can lead to toothache. This can be painful and upsetting, especially for children.

The Aquafresh Schools Club wants to give children and their families the knowledge they need to take ownership of their dental hygiene. These resources are free of charge and aim to teach pupils the key steps to good oral hygiene in a fun and engaging way. If you want more insightful resources, visit last year’s Aquafresh Brush Time Tales campaign here.

Resources for ages 4-7 include:

• Teacher Notes
• PowerPoint
• Tooth Brushing Top Tips Poster
• Mouth Myths and Tooth Truths Activity Sheet
• Tooth Guardians Colouring Sheet (for completion in Breakfast clubs, in class or at home)
• Competition Leaflet
• Letter for Breakfast Clubs (including Top Tips Poster)
