CPU 8211 Oral Health Supervised Toothbrushing Programme Expansion

This new contract will provide additional supervised toothbrushing capacity to expand the supervised toothbrushing programme that already exists across Nottingham City. The contract will expand delivery to 100% of children in early years settings (aged 3-5 years), focusing on those in the most deprived communities (IMD1 and 2). The supervised toothbrushing programme is a fun and educational initiative to be delivered in early years settings across Nottingham. It helps children aged 3 to 5 learn how to brush their teeth properly with fluoride toothpaste, forming healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Early Years settings will be provided with fluoride toothpaste and age-appropriate toothbrushes, and be guided by trained staff to ensure safe and effective brushing. The programme ensures that children brush their teeth once a day in the setting.
