Be Food Smart – Children’s Event

You may be aware that Public Health England has launched Be Food Smart – a national campaign focusing on healthy eating for families. Part of the campaign will be to encourage families to download the new ‘Be Food Smart’ app to reveal the surprising amounts of sugar, saturated fat and salt in everyday food and drinks and help families to take control and protect their children from the dangers of having ‘too much’ by becoming Food Smart.

A quarter of children in England suffer from tooth decay by the time they turn five. Tooth decay was the most common reason for hospital admission for children aged 5 to 9 in 2012 to 2013. They are consuming almost 3 sugar cubes at breakfast time alone, which equates to half their recommended daily amount.
Change4life wants to  alert parents to the hidden sugar, saturated fat and salt in everyday food and drink, and highlight the harm this can do to their child’s health, including oral health.

 SpaDental Plymouth would like to take this opportunity to invite you to call or email the practice to a dental appointment for your child on Thursday 16th February 2017.
If you know that your child is a regular attendee or has a future appointment with us or another dental practice, then why not recommend the Plymouth event to a fellow parent so that their child can benefit from this great campaign.

You can call the practice on 01752 663870 or email at plymouth@spadental.co.uk with any questions, queries or to book an appointment. Our reception team will be more than happy to help.
You can also follow the Plymouth event on Facebook.

We very much look forward to seeing you and welcoming new faces into the practice.
