Government wants to improve kids dental health

The government says it's committed to improving dental health for children. 

A dental health survey which was completed last year found that 26.6 per cent of five year olds on the Island have experienced poor oral hygiene. 

Deputy Director of Public Health Dr Ross Keat says tooth decay is preventable, and delivering effective prevention measures can make a real difference.

Public Health Isle of Man says that kids should avoid sugary snacks between meal times and brush their teeth twice a day.
