Online resources

http://www.upforjuniors.org.uk/teachers-resources/up-for-teeth/ - a series of 8 lesson plans designed by the University of Portsmouth’s Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy students, to ensure all facts are correct and up to date. The lessons are in sequence and begin with simple oral hygiene skills such as correct methods of teeth cleaning and flossing and progress to more complex oral hygiene issues, such as orthodontics. Each lesson plan contains a set of resources which can be downloaded, including powerpoint presentations which contain a variety of effective photos and activities.
Audience: These can be used with any year group, but recommended that later lessons in the series are more suited towards KS2. The lessons are sequential and therefore it is recommended to work through them one at a time.
