Why schools choose us

Supervised brushing is one of the most effective things a school can do, and one of the hardest to keep running.

Supervised brushing works, but it is hard to sustain day after day. Our dashboard makes it simple: run a session with your whole class, log it in one tap, and keep your evidence ready for Ofsted. If you would like to use it in your setting, speak to your local authority or programme provider about bringing My Dental Buddy to your children.

How it works

From first session to brushing every day.

Three simple steps. The dashboard does the heavy lifting.

01

Access your teacher pack

Everything you need to introduce supervised brushing to your class, ready to download.

02

Create your classes

Add your children and set up your classes in minutes. No spreadsheets, no admin.

03

Run and log daily brushing

Run a two-minute session with your whole class and log it in one tap. The dashboard records attendance and progress automatically, ready for Ofsted.

In the classroom · The dashboard

Class progress, at a glance.

One screen shows you who brushed, who did not, and how your class is doing over time. One-tap logging keeps it to seconds a day, and your evidence exports straight out of it.

  • One-tap daily logging: seconds, not paperwork.
  • Create classes, add children, run a session.
  • View class reports and brushing history.
  • Download resources and report incidents to your local authority.
  • Secure logins, minimal setup, full training included.
For your staff

No extra planning, no chasing, no spreadsheets. The routine runs itself and the inspection evidence writes itself alongside it.

Good to know

Questions schools ask

How do we get this for our school?

The Supervised Brushing Hub is licensed to local authorities, not to individual schools, so a school cannot sign up for it directly. It is commissioned by your local authority as part of its oral health programme. The first step is to speak to your local authority about whether it is available in your area. If you would like to bring it in, ask your local authority to contact My Dental Buddy at hub@mydentalbuddy.com to licence the software on your behalf.

Is there anything our school has to pay for?

No. Where the programme runs, it is commissioned and funded by your local authority, not by your school. The My Dental Buddy app that families use at home is free for everyone, always.

What do our staff have to do?

Very little. All training is provided during onboarding by the supervised brushing team running your local authority’s programme. They handle the setup so your staff are supported from the start.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Yes. UK-based servers, DPIA templates provided, ICO-registered (ZB894415), pseudonymised data, and full training on data handling.

What evidence do we get for Ofsted?

Exportable reports mapped to EYFS Framework 3.51, curriculum alignment docs, engagement metrics and parental involvement data. Everything inspectors want to see.

Is fluoride varnish or screening included?

These are separate clinical services your local authority can choose to commission, and both require explicit parental consent. To find out whether a fluoride varnish or screening service is available in your area, speak to your local authority.
