Health Assessment

What’s coming up!

Today our Gurrahman group had a visit from the AMS dental team. We learnt all about what foods make our teeth happy as well as what happens when our teeth don’t get brushed twice a day. Some Jarjums even got their teeth checked by the specialists. Thank you for teaching us about how to keep our teeth healthy Kresta and Tricia!Miss Elysha Williams, Relief Teacher.

Happy, healthy teeth

Fact Sheet

Water is the best drink for anyone who is thirsty. Water is a good choice as it does not have any added sugar.

In Australia, water is safe to drink straight from the tap or boiled if you prefer. In most areas, tap water contains fluoride, which helps children to develop strong teeth.
