Healthier eating

Welcome to this Dentaljuce course on Healthier Eating, much of which references the "Delivering better oral health" toolkit provided by NHS England.

The course focuses on the messages and advice that dental professionals should give to parents and children, including infants, to support them in improving their eating habits towards achieving a healthy diet.
