Thousands of children to be given supervised toothbrushing

A national supervised toothbrushing campaign has been launched in a bid to “revive” the country’s oral health.

The programme, in which children are encouraged to brush their teeth with a fluoride toothpaste, will take place in early years settings, including nurseries and schools.

Stephen Kinnock said it was shocking that a third of five-year-olds in the most deprived areas had experienced tooth decay, which he noted could have a lifelong impact on their health.
