Did you know Young people are entitled to free
NHS dental care until they are 19 years old and
in full-time education! However, cosmetic
procedures will incur a cost that is not covered
by the NHS.   Preventative actions, such as
regular check-ups, good oral hygiene practices,
and wearing a gum shield during sports, can all
help to avoid decay and keep teeth protected and
healthy!   Veneers require the filing down or
cutting away of part of the tooth in order to be
applied - it is an irreversible process and
veneers can require replacement due to cracking,
wearing down or loosening.   Often photos online
or photos of celebrities arent always as they
appear! Physical changes, such as applying
veneers, and digital changes, such as editing
photos, can make smiles appear whiter than they
really are.    The only safe place to receive
cosmetic treatments is from a qualified dental
professional. Tooth whitening from beauty
therapists, for example in spas or clinics, is
illegal and can cause major damage to the
mouth.   Braces can be cosmetic, but are also
offered on the NHS to those who fall into
categories deemed to be higher need.

• Both
• Getting braces
• Tooth whitening
• Scale and polish (when a hygienist removes plaque
  and tartar from teeth)
• Covering a damaged tooth with a crown

1. What habits might affect the characters
dental health? 2. Where might they get support
or treatment? 3. What considerations would they
need to have when deciding whether to get
treatment? (i.e. cost or risks)
Bailey hasnt been to the dentist in over a year.
He hasnt felt any problems with his teeth, so he
doesnt think he should go.   He flosses and
brushes his teeth twice a day and really tries to
avoid sugary foods. Each morning for breakfast
Bailey has cereal with milk and some fruit juice.
He tries to make as many healthy choices as he
can.
