BOLTON has a terrible track record for tooth decay in young children.
This is not the fault of officials and health workers but, mostly, that of parents giving their children too many sweet things especially fruit cordial drinks.
Starting a good dental health routine early is also vital to improving children’s tooth health and the town’s oral health team is now trying to make this fun in a campaign.
It’s a shocking fact that many children don’t even have their own tooth brush, let alone know how to brush their teeth properly.
Oral health workers are doing their best to establish good habits but it’s all down to parents after that to ensure that children care for their teeth every day.
