Episode 13: Understanding Oral & Dental Health
Show Notes:
“It is not uncommon for under 5’s to have their full set of teeth removed”. This is the unbelievable truth we hear in this week’s podcast from Marisa Russell, Mini First Aid trainer and dental nurse.
In this episode, Kate talks to Marisa Russell about oral and dental health. Marisa talks us through why children’s teeth can be so prone to decay and surprisingly, it’s not just about what they eat and how often they brush.
It’s Mouth Cancer Action Month, so this is one for the whole family as Marisa explains why regular dental checks are so important, and not only from the perspective of keeping those pearly whites in tip top condition.
If you have a battle with your children about brushing their teeth and sometimes wonder if it’s worth it, this episode is for you!
