BASCD welcomes the UK’s new “healthy food revolution.”
However, we urge policymakers not to forget the deep links between diet and tooth decay — especially in children.
Prevention must start with environments, not blame.

Exciting progress for oral health in the UK. Supervised brushing & water fluoridation expansion are key steps, but millions still lack access to care.
We need bold political action—fund NHS dentistry, expand prevention & support the workforce #WOHD25
