Tooth fairy shares dental tips in Keady

October 2013

A series of tooth fairy events are being held across the Southern Outcomes Group area. The first of these events was held on 1 October in Keady. The Tooth Fairy joined children, young people and their families to share dental tips and to highlight the importance of regular visits to the dentist at a dental information event. The event, organised by Arke Sure Start and the Children and Young Peoples’ Partnership (CYPSP) Armagh Locality development officer, aimed to raise awareness of the importance of good oral health and encourage local families to attend the dentist regularly.

A local hygienist from Keady dental Practice and a Dietician from Arke Sure Start were on hand to give advice on how to prevent tooth decay, care for teeth and gums, the sugar content in food and drinks and ideas for healthy snacks.  Also, there was a puppet show and storytelling sessions to help children and young people understand why they need to look after their teeth and gums. .
