@goodmorningbritain: The Labour Party have promised to create 100,000 extra dental appointments for children. They have also suggested supervised tooth brushing for 3-5-year-olds during the school day. Is this the parents’ responsibility or should teachers be in charge of supervised teeth brushing sessions? #LabourParty #GeneralElection
Hilarious these people think we (teachers) don’t teach the children life skills and we just do ‘reading writing and math’

have to be honest, most schools in the UK do some form of teeth brushing scheme, I was trained in the brush bus 🤣 I do quite like the concept, sadly alot of kids for many reasons don't brush at home

Susanna Reid has really gone down in my estimation of her. Completely socially blind, hope people like her one day realise the complete poverty some children are living in where they don’t have…

As a teacher, I’ve already been in many schools that do teeth brushing (morning and again after lunch) due to such poor dental health in the area. Been doing it for years in every primary year group

teachers aren’t parents or social workers. maybe focus on fixing poverty and homelessness in this country and children won’t need teachers to brush their teeth

I can understand doing this in nurseries… but in no way should it be taught in older grades. However I do agree that teachers can explain why it’s import as part of PSHE lessons
