Brushing for Life is a government initiative to reduce the inequalities in children’s oral health in the most disadvantaged areas of the country. The scheme started in 2001, and provides children in areas with highest levels of dental decay a free pack of fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush - supported by advice on oral hygiene.
This appraisal of the Brushing for Life scheme was conducted by Professor Blinkhorn in March 2005 for the Department of Health.
