I'm watching this on Ch4 +1.
I didn't realise the level of tooth decay in children was as high as a third, and half in the North. I'm shocked.
I knew it was on the increase but seeing a young child having 12 baby teeth removed because of decay really is shocking.

The woman who thought it was more important to let her child watch peppa pig rather than brush her teeth was fucking ridiculous!! No wonder she had an abscess and had to have 8 teeth taken out! |

Bloody disgusting its a simple process to brush your teeth and parents who dont or even encourage kids too are neglecting their health!
My nephews adore brushing their teeth so much so it became a fun game they liked to do |

I know these programmes are made to be shocking but I am getting angry with that mother. Not being able to find a school uniform for a five year old. She's giving the child adult portions, sugary drinks and sweets all the time.

A tiny bit of chocolate at Easter, caught my ex mother in law feeding in a milkybar when he was one I went crackers, what one year old needs sweets. My son is 24 and has one tiny filling, I'm 49 and had a filling since I was 14 had all mine between the ages of 12 and 14

"I hate shows like that,they sways show the north as either un healthy, poor,stuffy,thick or crap with our kids.
The issues are national though."
If there national then why say a third of kids and half in the north? |

She said she tries her best, but contradicts what she said earlier when she said that 90% of her food shop was frozen processed shite  |

I think a third's bad enough whether north south east or west! |

Made it to 30 before I had any fillings also.
Wasn't fed sweets untill I was old enough to go to the shops myself and ask for a half pence mixture lol
Having had fissure sealant treatment at the dentist at a young age stopped me having any fillings or extractions a lot younger than 30 I reckon........cheers maw  |

So how do we change the stats on things that are preventable, like tooth decay? What is it that happens in the north, where there are fewer people than the south, that makes their teeth worse?
I understand about deprivation, reduced health outcomes and unemployment but I really find it hard to understand why anyone would let their children have pain in their mouths for the want of teaching them to brush their teeth.
It's sad.

Watched it and felt so sorry for the little girl. And angry at the mother. All convenience food??!! I'm no Jamie Oliver but come on, making your own dinner is cheaper, and not that difficult.
That pyjamas she had on (mother said she wore 8-9 so assuming it's that) looked welded on to her.
She's 4/5 if I remember correctly??
And the sight of her waking up in agony after the extractions?? Cruelty.
Although the programme on after that was nearly more depressing |

The fissure sealant is brilliant at preventing fillings. From what I've seen though, this is only offered privately and not by NHS dentists. It's a shame it's not widely available.
Education is the key. I've seen young children having ribena from a baby bottle - one of the worst things for rotting teeth!

I'm going to watch this on catch up today at some point.
I ate sweets quite often as a kid, but my parents were religious about making me clean my teeth properly. Twice a day for 2 minutes a day, flossing from a young age. I was 31 before I had my first filling. |

In this case the statistics show the situation is worse in the North.
It's not down to anyone's opinion, that's what the dentists actually see.
They say 1/3 in the South and 1/2 in the North because those are the numbers.

The thing that made me angry was the mother of the four year old saying she can't deny her anything as SHE wants an easy life.
The child chose and ate sushi walking around the supermarket and was then fed chocolate.
I hope from being involved in the programme, and after her daughter having a general anaesthetic to remove 8 teeth, she will see she has been denying her child her health.

Aye,there's a ridiculous amount of sugar in ribena!
Had my fissure sealant in the late 80's and sure it was free(probably not for everyone)  |

What im frustrated with as a mother is that products specifically targeted for childrens consumption are crammed with sugar and salt..
Heinz baby juice.. its essentially neat apple juice. FRUCTOSE is still sugar no matter how fancy words are..
I do look at labels on things and am more aware. Brushing teeth after fruit juice drinks is very bad as those sugars weaken the enamel |

It's the fact that people give small children NEAT fruit juice in a bottle is where the rot starts to set in.
I saw a programme many years ago about portion sizes. One of the striking things was that 25 years and more ago a very small glass of orange juice would probably be the only juice. The amount of orange juice a child would have now is double the size of what they used to get.
