With Government initiatives to increase supervised toothbrushing for 3-5 year olds in early years settings, this page has everything you need to know to start a scheme in your setting.

Have you ever wondered about starting supervised toothbrushing but can’t imagine how it works in practice? See how one school in North Somerset carries out their supervised toothbrushing. The school have commented on how surprisingly easy it has been to implement, how much fun the children have doing it, and how, if they forget, the children remind them because it became a part of their routine so quickly.

The Big Brush Club has been commissioned by NHS in the South West to provide support and resources to schools and settings who care for a high proportion of children who are at high risk of developing dental problems. On this page are some videos which might answer some questions you may have about supervised toothbrushing.

If you are looking to start this in your own setting but don’t know where to start, to get in touch and we can talk you through it and offer you some support.
