Hello, we are the Oral Health Improvement Team for Bedford and Central Bedfordshire.
We deliver the My Smile award and the Let’s Brush programme in our area. They both support targeted early years settings with daily supervised toothbrushing. My Smile extends to ensure that the settings are tooth friendly in their everyday practice.
