Resources for school
Good oral health is an important part of a child’s overall wellbeing, and schools play a key role in helping children build healthy habits for life.
We’ve created this section to support teachers with engaging, ready-to-use resources that make learning about dental health fun and accessible across the curriculum.
All of the resources provided are available in three levels of difficulty, making it easy to adapt activities for different ages and abilities within your classroom.
We’re also happy to support schools directly. If you would like a member of our team to visit your school — please get in touch and we can arrange something that works for you.
For additional ideas, including hands-on activities and book recommendations, don’t forget to explore our parent section — many of the tuff tray ideas and reading resources can be easily adapted for classroom use.
Role play area resources
Role play is a fantastic way to help children explore new experiences and build confidence. Creating a dental-themed role play area can help children become more familiar with visiting the dentist in a fun and relaxed way.
We provide a range of printable resources to help you set up your own dental role play station, including signs, appointment cards, and activity prompts. Children can take on different roles — from dentist to patient — encouraging communication, creativity, and understanding of dental care routines.
