Very excited to see the Government announcement of dedicated funding to support the roll out of supervised toothbrushing programmes in England. Very positive news for children's oral health. Great to see our research paper nature.com/articles/s41415-0… in both BBC and ITV articles.
School and nursery staff in the most deprived areas of England will be asked to supervise young children while they brush their teeth. Health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson had more details on #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8r…
