An important message for growing smiles

Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood health concerns worldwide, affecting nearly half of all preschool children.

In New Zealand, research has shown that around 42 percent of five year olds experience tooth decay, a figure that has changed very little over time. While there are many contributing factors, developing strong brushing habits early can significantly reduce the risk.

Tommy Tooth was created to bring a little joy to oral health routines and to help children feel confident about caring for their teeth.
