Teaching Teeth

Teaching Teeth aims to provide dental education and preventative strategies in a relatable way to new parents, targeting pregnancy and early childhood dental needs. The Teaching Teeth platform is designed for the ever-growing technology-savvy generation of new parents and this digital transformation is changing the way dental education is traditionally delivered. “We aim to bridge the gap between expecting and new parents and the dental industry. We hope Teaching Teeth can encourage preventative behaviours by providing education, that is easy to access and understand, and support to this population, whereas traditionally they may not access a dental professional at this time for various reasons.” Teaching Teeth focuses on all aspects of oral health from pregnancy, infancy to early childhood. With topics ranging from parental oral health effects on newborn health, early oral motor development and function, how, when, and what to brush, oral hygiene for both mum and bubs, and what products we recommend using, when, and why. Good oral health starts well before the first tooth erupts and we want to educate new parents on this to help shape and change the oral health habits of the next generation.
