Dadsnet Show: Tackling Childhood Tooth Decay with Joe Wicks & Minister James Frith
On the Dadsnet Show, Joe Wicks and Minister James Frith discuss children’s oral health and the statistic that over 21,000 UK hospital admissions each year for five- to nine-year-olds are due to tooth decay, the biggest cause of admissions for that age group. They explore how preventable decay is through brushing twice a day for two minutes, reducing sugary and sticky snacks, and drinking more water, while acknowledging how stressful routines can be for parents. Joe shares practical tactics like role-modelling, making brushing fun, and supervising because kids often rush or pretend. James outlines a holistic approach: supervised toothbrushing in primary schools (including kits to take home), efforts to improve access to NHS dentists, and focusing support in deprived “dental desert” areas, noting 3 million more appointments and over 80% of seekers getting an appointment.
