1 min read Early Years Health
A local community dental nurse recently visited Ealing Common Day Nursery and taught the children about the importance of keeping their teeth and gums healthy, as part of the nursery's Profession Month.

What is the month all about? The Profession Month aims to teach the children about different roles adults have, how to identify professions such as police officers and lollipop men and women, and, of course, dentists. It enables children to understand how they can help and gives them a chance to act out some role plays.
