Dental Health Care and NHS: My Smile is a quality mark awarded to early years settings that successfully implement the four steps of the programme. These create a tooth friendly environment for young children, helping to protect their oral health.

The programme supports children’s daily toothbrushing which is carried out in a fun way in the classroom with all their peers – the children really enjoy these toothbrushing sessions! The criteria also ensures that snacks and drinks provided are tooth friendly and encourages families to visit the dentist regularly.

Targeted settings across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are invited to take part in the programme each year and accreditation is valid for two years.
