1 min read Children's dentistry Patient education
Community Dental Services CIC (CDS) has collaborated with Boston College to promote its supervised toothbrushing programme within primary schools. The initiative teaches children the importance of proper oral hygiene and helps develop good dental habits.

The dental provider teamed up with media students from the college to produce a video that is targeted at teachers and schools to explain how a supervised toothbrushing programme can work effectively in a school setting.

The video is supported by two additional films showcasing success stories of schools that have implemented the programme, as well as a parent testimonial, highlighting the positive impact it has had on their children's oral health.

Jennifer Baitup, strategic oral health lead at CDS, said, “CDS delivers supervised toothbrushing programmes throughout Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk and Waveney, Essex, Suffolk and Slough. Teaching children how to clean their teeth and be mindful of sugar consumption has helped to instil better oral health from a young age, thus reducing the risk of dental issues in the future.
