Supervised Tooth Brushing

This will ensure that their toothbrush and toothpaste can be stored properly. Staff members will take the children into the bathroom in small groups once a day for tooth brushing sessions, during which practitioners will discuss the importance of maintaining dental hygiene. Please remember that toothbrushes should be replaced every three months, or sooner if the bristles begin to fray.
If you do not wish your child to participate please advise us in writing (email) so that we can place your wishes on record.
