Implementation of supervised toothbrushing
The BRUSH team, based at the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield, have produced an evidence-based toolkit to support the implementation of supervised toothbrushing programmes across England. This toolkit, accessed by over 19,000 visitors since launch, is a repository of resources, step-by-step guides and top tips about supervised toothbrushing. It includes interactive maps to show which councils commission supervised toothbrushing, how many children are already participating, levels of dental caries and deprivation. The website also includes information on the effectiveness of supervised toothbrushing.
