Project Facilitator, Jess visited Busy Bees Pre-school in Chapmanslade, Wiltshire for a quality assurance audit and offer support on Oral Health and Supervised Toothbrushing.

Well done to the amazing staff who had the routine running so well. The children all washed their hands and sat at the table and began brushing along to the Big Brush Club song for 2 minutes. The children knew they should brush twice a day and they loved the taste of the mint toothpaste! Well done Busy Bees!

Did you know your toothpaste tube can actually be recycled? 💙♻️

Yep, most people don’t realise it but you can put them in your weighted blue bag, caps and all.
Just clean as best as you can, squash them flat and pop the caps back on.

The cardboard box can also go in the paper recycling too.

🏢 If you live in a flat or communal building use your shared plastic and cans wheelie bin instead.

To find out what can be recycled and how, visit the Waste Wizard on our website.

Great brushing from Puffins Pre school in Beer!

Supervised toothbrushing is an evidenced based programme that significantly reduces decay in children and promotes goof oral hygiene habits!

21/04/2026

Every day in the UK, there are about 180 operations to remove children’s teeth due to tooth decay.

We have pulled together a range of downloadable leaflets created to support patients and their parents to prevent tooth decay: https://ow.ly/GCrk50YBGj7

We also highly recommend our fun videos made with Dr Ranj - and Supertooth - which are on our Kidsvids page: https://ow.ly/hBGQ50YBGj6

Let's work together to improve the oral health of children in the UK!

The Big Brush Team have been busy visiting settings to offer support and complete quality assurance checks. Here is our lovely Project Facilitator, Jess visiting Busy Bees Preschool in Trowbridge and St John's Catholic Primary, Trowbridge to see their supervised toothbrushing in action.

Jess said they were AMAZING !

St John's teachers were super excited about the brushing and the children loved it. They all sat in a circle with their toothbrushes and toothpaste on the paper towels and brushed along to the Big Brush Club song for 2 minutes. The children all washed their hands before and after and the teachers all wore aprons and gloves throughout. The toothbrush racks and toothbrushes were clean and stored correctly.

Busy Bees also did an amazing job! All the children sat at their table with their toothbrush, they were given a paper towel with toothpaste on and they brushed for 2 minutes. The teacher encouraged them by showing them the brushing technique. Great display board and everything was stored correctly.

Has your setting had a visit from us? We would love to see your brushing in action, display boards or pictures from our visits. Please share and tag us in! Thank you to all the enthusiastic school and nursery staff who are really making an impact on oral health and children's lives.🫶👏
