Re: Free tooth brushes for under 5s
I'm sure we were taught about cleaning teeth at school and my kids came home which those disclosure tablets that showed up dirty teeth after a talk from someone at school.I'm not sure it's the lack of brushing so much as sugary drinks etc. causing decay these days.

We brush our teeth
twice a day
To keep them clean and germs away.
Clean at breakfast
And clean at night
To keep them clean and fresh and bright.
Something like that anyway. I was looking for a video but couldn't find one.

Re: Free tooth brushes for under 5s
New NHS figures obtained by the Local Government Association (LGA) show that 40,800 under-18s in England had at least one tooth taken out last year under general anaesthetic because of decay. Performing the procedures cost £35.6m.
The children involved had such advanced decay that they could not be treated by a dentist and had to go to hospital instead. NHS surgeons carried out 161 such operations each working day.
The scheme could save a lot of money in the long run...
