Resource package
This resource kit includes a book entitled Tiddalick and Narootah's toothy tale: a modern day dreamtime story, a CD featuring the 'Swig swish swallow song', and a resource book called The lesson of swig swish swallow. These resources were developed to encourage children to drink water instead of sugary drinks, and to 'swig, swish, swallow' water after eating to reduce tooth decay.
Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet abstract
The Tiddalick takes on teeth program aimed to encourage Indigenous children to drink water between meals and to 'swig, swish, swallow' with water after eating.
