Tooth decay is something as diet changes have become a national concern.  This year, Byker primary School is part of a pilot study to review toothbrushing education for children age 5 and under.  Children will be taught how to brush their teeth and how to keep them healthy and clean.  They will participate in a daily toothbrush session whilst at school after lunch, and we will also be linking in with the dental pop-up bus.

Year 4 have also been developing their understanding of tooth decay through experimenting with eggs in various substances such as fizzy pop, water, salt water and vinegar.
