Swindon’s school toothbrushing program reduced child tooth decay and expanded to 30 schools, while Telford struggles to grow its similar effort.
Swindon Council’s 'Big Brush Club' program, which provides daily supervised toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste in schools, has expanded to 30 schools, reaching over 2,161 children.
The initiative, backed by the NHS and funded by the council, has contributed to a drop in dental decay among five-year-olds from 28.9% to 16.5% since 2019, now below the England average.
The program includes free brushing kits, parenting guidance, and support for high-need areas.
Meanwhile, Telford & Wrekin Council faces challenges expanding its similar Brilliant Brushers scheme due to staff shortages and resistance from school receptionists, despite a £50,984 government grant to support outreach in deprived areas and special needs schools.
