Free tooth care kits bring a smile to Leicestershire tots

Babies across Leicestershire are to be given a free dental health kit at their four-month health visitor contact.

The packs include a baby toothbrush, toothpaste and a leaflet and parents will be offered advice on good tooth care habits.

The scheme, spearheaded by Leicestershire County Council’s Public Health department, is being introduced during National Smile Month, which runs until June 18.
