🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at Numed! 🎃
As little monsters get ready to enjoy their spooky sweets, let’s not forget the importance of keeping those tiny fangs healthy!
👻 This Halloween, we’re encouraging families to have fun safely and smile brightly — all in support of the Better Health Start for Life, Top Tips for Teeth campaign.
These NHS-backed resources help parents, carers, and professionals support children’s oral health from the very first tooth — because good habits early on lead to healthy smiles for life.
🪥 Top Tips include:
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste 🕒
Keep sugar to a minimum – choose healthier, lower-sugar alternatives when possible 🍬
Spit, don’t rinse – keep that fluoride working! 💧
Say goodbye to the bottle – switch to free-flow cups 🍼➡️🥤
Free NHS dental checks for under 18s – protect their smile! 🦷✅
Special support for pregnant women – keep your pregnancy smile glowing 🤰✨
🎯 Good oral health is key to a child’s development and overall wellbeing. Starting early makes all the difference, even during treat-filled times like Halloween!

To support this initiative, we’ll be adding some helpful content to your Envisage media library over the coming weeks — so keep an eye out for new materials you can share in your waiting areas.
Let’s make this Halloween full of treats and healthy teeth!🧛🦷
