Supply of Oral Health Consumables

Descriptions

Supply of Oral Health Consumables. Given the significant demands on our dental services and the capacity challenges being faced, the Cheshire & Merseyside ICB has committed to enhance an upstream, evidence-based population health at scale programme across Cheshire & Merseyside. Increasing access to free toothbrushing and pastes to targeted children most at risk of dental decay and supported with a supervised toothbrushing scheme for targeted 2 up to 7 years olds across the sub region. This programme will directly contribute towards reducing the oral health NHSCORE20PLU5 indicator for tackling under 10's tooth extractions in our 20% most deprived communities. It will also reduce demand for future dental and urgent services in forthcoming years and contribute to the Joint Forward Plan and All Together fairer aim of giving every child the best start in life.
