Hammersmith and Fulham Council is implementing the Supervised Toothbrushing Programme as part of a new oral health plan.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council began rolling out a new plan to improve children's oral health in March 2026. A key component of this plan is the implementation of the national Supervised Toothbrushing Programme in early years settings within areas of high deprivation, as discussed at a Health and Wellbeing Board meeting.

The Supervised Toothbrushing Programme is a national initiative designed to reduce tooth decay through daily supervised toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste. No further council discussions or decisions regarding the programme are currently scheduled.
