Whole school approach to oral health

Make sure that any concerns about a CYP's oral health are recorded so that any patterns which may emerge are identified and further steps can be taken if necessary.

Parental consent should be obtained and recorded before any toothbrushing activities are undertaken as well as recording any allergies.

If your school or setting partakes in a supervised toothbrushing programme, then any measures taken around infection control should be clearly recorded.
