June 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darling Downs Health South Burnett staff at Murgon and Wondai have been promoting healthy smiles to local children.<\/p>\n

They have been helping children aged six and under learn how to take correct care of their teeth.<\/p>\n

Clinical Child Health Nurse Amy Innes came up with the idea after speaking to a parent who was concerned about what oral care she should be teaching her child.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood habits start early in life and strong teeth are very important to a child\u2019s health,\u201d Ms Innes said.<\/p>\n

Senior Oral Health Therapist Natalie Brown held education sessions at Murgon Library and Mother Kate’s Childcare in Wondai.<\/p>\n

\u201cI explained the importance of healthy eating and correctly brushing their teeth,\u201d Ms Brown said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked the children to demonstrate on the puppet teeth model how they brush their teeth and when needed corrected their technique.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

She also asked the children to divide different foods into groups of “every day” and “moderation” consumption.<\/p>\n

When foods were put into the wrong groups, Ms Brown corrected and explained why the foods were placed in the incorrect group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also taught the importance of healthy drinking and explained what drinks are bad for their teeth,\u201d Ms Brown said.<\/p>\n

Ms Innes said the sessions had been a great success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parents and children had heaps of questions to ask it was fantastic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Another session will be held later this year to reinforce the healthy behaviours taught in the initial sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
