## About this tender

The Supervised tooth brushing programme is aimed at children attending primary schools in

areas of deprivation, experiencing poorer oral health. The tooth brushing activity will take

place in the school setting they attend. The main aims of the programme are to reduce the

inequalities in children. The objectives and related outcomes are: To develop healthy habits

from a very young age (life course approach), To increase children's willingness to brush

their teeth, To improve children's toothbrushing technique, To encourage daily application of

fluoride toothpaste to teeth which reduces the incidence and severity of tooth decay in

children, To encourage support for home brushing, To establish life-long behaviour in

children to promote oral health, To reduce the negative impact of poor oral health, To

increase and promote intergenerational understanding of good oral health to children &

families, To provide quality information, advice and training to school staff, To increase

community resilience and improve understanding and ownership of personal health and

wellbeing from a very young age, To increase awareness on healthy eating and sugar

consumption in food & drinks, To prevent childhood overweight and obesity, To develop links

with other local services and organisations to provide an integrated approach to oral health

provision. (see service specification for more details).
