go chat to a teacher about their daily workload, then ask them if they want to add the thankless fucking task of making sure that a bunch of 5 year olds brushed their teeth properly. "They're already at work" is such fucking manager talk. "Oh, you're already doing a bunch of shit, much of which is skilled work that you're trained to do, and much of which is a bunch of add-on shit that you've been asked to do by some clueless executive type. What harm in asking you to do yet another bullshit task that you have no actual training or aptitude for? I'm a smart middle manager with no fucking clue about how to foster dignity in the workplace!"
I own a school-age 4 year old. The only way of ensuring that she has actually brushed her teeth properly is to do it myself. Multiplying that by 30? Fuck it, why not just get them to do shots of listerine? It would be just as fucking effective.

If you want it effective then the teacher needs to devote their attention to it so what gets bumped? Lesson planning, marking, teaching?
Or I guess it could be done at break time. Do teachers really need to go to the toilet?
It's not necessarily a bad policy so long as it is fully resourced but I am less than convinced it will be.

Why is a waste of teachers' time?
They're already there in school working.
