The Oral Health Improvement team works to promote and improve oral health and prevent dental decay in local communities in Bradford and Airedale. They work with a wide range of professionals, voluntary and community groups to deliver:
- Advice, support and online training to encourage good oral health, particularly to key groups such as children, vulnerable adults and older people.
- Supervised toothbrushing programme to promote good technique and daily fluoride toothpaste use for children aged four to six years in specific schools, nurseries and special schools.
- Fluoride varnish programme to reduce tooth decay in children between the ages of three to five years.
- Oral health awareness campaigns.
