Sucking is a natural reflex, and a #dummy may help soothe a restless child. This is entirely natural, but never give a child a dummy that has a drink or something sweet in it. Find more advice on managing this here: ow.ly/FtKQ50Ix5qR #childoralhealth #parentingtips

BSPD believes NHS dentistry consultation is essential next step. However, we caution that the ultimate need is long-term contract reform to turn the nation’s oral health around for the future. Full press release here: ow.ly/A6lO50Wnxo1 #NHSDentistry #childoralhealth

Never leave your baby or toddler with a feeding bottle or trainer cup in their mouth for long periods of time, such as when they go to bed, and never dip a bottle or pacifier in sweet or fruit-based drinks. More advice here: ow.ly/Vq1x50LcW2g #childoralhealth #parentstips
