We listened to feedback after launching toothPASTE and seeing how far it has reached across our networks. We’re pleased to announce that toothPASTE is now available in 12 languages (including Welsh), making it more accessible and inclusive for families.

All newsletters (including plain text versions) will also be available via our Linktree for easy access. linktr.ee/toothpastest...

Each edition is designed to help you get the most out of the toothPASTE website (autismtoothcare.com), which offers free, autism-friendly oral health resources for families and professionals.

Thank you! So glad to hear it’s useful- and you're definitely not alone, I too have missed these things! Really appreciate your support for the toothPASTE study and thank you again for all your input and expertise!

Thank you! It really means a lot coming from you, given your amazing work supporting children with complex needs and addressing dental inequalities. Your expertise and the Widgit resources helped shape the site to be more accessible for families- thank you for your valued input throughout!

@laurenjones91.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social @leedspaedsdent.bsky.social toothPASTE was developed by the University of Leeds with the Universities of Manchester & Sheffield, Bradford District Care NHS, and funded by NIHR & West Yorkshire NHS ICB (with support from YHARC).

toothPASTE includes practical tools to help with:

Toothbrushing

Reducing sugary foods

Dental visits

Resources are autism-informed, non-judgemental & easy to use- whether or not a child has a diagnosis. Please share widely @drpeterday.bsky.social @saskiagrassie.bsky.social

Thank you, Pilippa, it was lovely meeting you and what an amazing conference organised by the team!

toothPASTE is a website co-designed with families of autistic children and the professionals who support them.

All our resources are grounded in real life- reflecting everyday priorities like brushing, eating, and dental visits. We’ll be sharing more over the next few weeks :)

Toothbrushing doesn’t need to happen in the bathroom- it’s about what’s right for your child and your routine.

But if the bathroom is where brushing happens, this checklist offers simple, helpful things to think about. @drpeterday.bsky.social @laurenpickles.bsky.social
