The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the potential return on funding for the the supervised brushing scheme in Buckingham and Bletchley constituency.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Supervised toothbrushing is an evidence-based intervention. The most recent assessment suggests that supervised toothbrushing schemes have a five-year return on investment of £3.06 for every £1 spent where the rate of decayed, missing due to decay, and filled teeth is two or greater.
