A pioneering, community-led project which aspires to transform the oral health of thousands of school children was launched in the east end today.
The programmer is the main concern project for the East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership, which would see daily tooth brushing implemented in every primary school.
Following successful pilot schemes, manages tooth brushing would be introduced in 47 schools as part of their Breakfast Club and would involve around 2000 pupils up to the age of 12 every day.
This supervision would be undertaken with the help of 40 parents, who are all volunteers and who have been correctly trained.
Their involvement is seen as fundamental to the achievement of the programmer and follows a survey, which indicated 99% of Glasgow East parents required to see greater intervention over dental health.
It is also intended the daily tooth brushing service would be expanded to include 3500 East CHCP children in Primary 1 and Primary 2 by December.
