Supervised Toothbrushing Programme for Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s Public Health team are commissioning CLCH’s Oral Health Promotion Team for the delivery of various projects to increase supervised toothbrushing in the borough.

This is a new programme which is being commissioned to align-with, but sit separately from, local authority-commissioned supervised toothbrushing programme which exist already. The funding is from DHSC (March 2025). The programme will expand the reach of supervised toothbrushing programme within the borough and drive improvements in oral health.

The aim of this integrated programme in the long term is to contribute to improvements in oral health of young children across the borough , and a reduction in oral health inequalities, through delivery and coordination of a supervised toothbrushing programme in early years settings in the most deprived areas of the borough (Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 1 and 2).

The programme is initially commissioned for 1 year, from September 2025 with continuation of the programme subject to further funding from DHSC.
