We’re on a mission to make sure the smiles of the children we support stay happy, healthy and confident!
To make learning fun, we use large teeth and toothbrush models and follow a brushing song – moving to each area of the mouth as the song guides us. It’s visual, interactive and the children absolutely love joining in!
Each child also has their own toothbrush on our toothbrush buses, with colours and numbers to help build independence and routine.
We’re proud to work with All Together Smiling, who provide our toothbrushes, buses and specialist toothpaste, including scent‑free and foam‑free options for children with additional needs.
And every term, we send home oral‑hygiene packs with a toothbrush, toothpaste, a sand timer and a simple leaflet to help families continue healthy brushing habits at home.
Maintaining good oral health is part of the national curriculum for children in nurseries and schools. Tooth decay is the most common dental problem in children and can cause toothache and problems with eating, sleeping and learning. It can also stop children from doing things they enjoy.
Healthy smiles start young, and we’re here to make it fun, accessible and confidence‑boosting for every child. We want to help children to brush their teeth from a young age as part of their daily routine and also help to create healthy toothbrushing habits at home too!
We want to encourage all parents and carers to register with a dentist if you haven’t already and take your child along for a check-up.
