At the end of last year, our East London KEEN Club hosted a wellbeing day featuring yoga and mindfulness with local instructor Guppy, and dental health led by KEEN London coach and qualified dentist Dr. Charlie.

Guppy began the day with a relaxing sound bath and yoga session (video here) before Dr. Charlie shared some top tips on dental hygiene with our athletes and their parents.  Dr Charlie showed us how to brush our teeth correctly, how to check for plaque and provided fun ways to make teeth cleaning a little easier ( take a look at what we got up to here).

Scroll through some of Dr. Charlie’s dental tips for helping children with additional needs, who often struggle with the sensory aspects of teeth cleaning. Whether it’s the taste, the foamy texture, or the brushing itself, we hope these tips make the process easier.

Our thanks to Dentaid, the dental charity for providing the resources for our day, to Charlie and Guppy for their time and and all the families who took part!
