New secondary school oral health resource

Posted by: Scottish Dental - Posted on:

The BRIGHT research trial looked at the impact of lessons about oral health in secondary school followed by a series of text messages in reducing decay and increasing frequency of toothbrushing.

The research was undertaken by teams across the UK including dental teams in the University of Dundee and NHS Tayside and covered year groups S1 and S2.

A complete lesson plan with resources on the importance of toothbrushing was developed by the BRIGHT researchers and has been awarded the Quality Mark by the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education association.

The resources which may be useful to oral health improvement teams and their education partners can be found at https://pshe-association.org.uk/resource/bright-dental-health
