BASCD welcomes the news following public consultation that community water fluoridation will be expanded in the Northeast of England. Water fluoridation is a proven, cost-effective measure that reduces inequalities and protects communities from preventable tooth decay.

June O’Sullivan OBE, CEO, London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), says: Tooth decay doesn’t just cause pain – it disrupts sleep, eating, learning, and the ability to speak clearly, which is crucial for a child’s development and confidence.

1 in 3 five-year-olds in the most deprived areas have experience of tooth decay. That's why we're introducing supervised toothbrushing at schools and nurseries. Every £1 we invest will save the NHS £3 - and up to 600,000 children each year will benefit.
