Bedfordshire settings that have been invited to implement daily toothbrushing as part of the Kickstart initiative are encouraged to view the videos below.
Joseph Locke Primary School, Barnsley’s ‘Toothbrushing Club’ showcases how daily toothbrushing can be set up, flourish and succeed. Staff went from being uncertain at the beginning to feeling confident and supported. The children quickly learnt to love brushing their teeth seated around tables and parents being timed for two minutes at home! Watch the short video here.
Please note that the Kickstart to brushing equipment issued by the local authority will be different to the resources shown in the video.
The well established Childsmile programme in Scotland shares some practicalities of how to smoothly implement daily supervised toothbrushing here.
