Healthy Teeth, Happy Smiles aims to provide:
- Free toothbrushes and toothpaste for children in oral health packs. All children in the city will receive five oral health care packs by the time they are five, which contain a toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste and oral health information.
- Free baby bottle swaps in all children, young people and families centres.
- Supervised toothbrushing. Many early year’s settings (aged 0-5) take part in their free supervised toothbrushing programme where children learn how to brush their teeth properly every day.
