Daily supervised toothbrushing in kindergartens: second and third years of 'Smiles' oral health promotion program among preschool children.

The successful performance and positive atmosphere of 'Smiles' at all its levels (the organization, the staff, the parents, and the children) made this endeavor an example of a large-scale demonstration program with practical and realistic enhancement of daily toothbrushing skills and integration of daily supervised toothbrushing among preschool children in kindergartens. Following the introduction of the 'Smiles' program results to the Ministry of Health in 2017, this service became part of the dental health service for pupils in Israel in 2018.

Abstract

The successful performance and positive atmosphere of 'Smiles' at all its levels (the organization, the staff, the parents, and the children) made this endeavor an example of a large-scale demonstration program with practical and realistic enhancement of daily toothbrushing skills and integration of daily supervised toothbrushing among preschool children in kindergartens. Following the introduction of the 'Smiles' program results to the Ministry of Health in 2017, this service became part of the dental health service for pupils in Israel in 2018.
