It is back to school this week, and part of that morning routine
is getting the kids to brush their teeth. It can be a battle, but
children's health experts say you will have an even bigger battle
if you do not.
Half of all children under five will already have a cavity, which
is becoming more and more common for dental nurses, dealing with
pre-schoolers who have never had their teeth brushed.
Dr Susan Cartwright is with Close Up in the studio because she is
so concerned about it. She does a bit of a demo on two children,
eighteen-month-old Jack, proud owner of twenty month teeth, his
three-year-old sister Emma, and their mum Caroline, who is the one
charged with the daily task.
