Wolverhampton has the highest percentage of children with decayed or missing teeth in the country.
Wolverhampton has the highest percentage of children with decayed or missing teeth in the country Sunflowers Day Nursery in Wolverhampton has been carrying out the sessions for 10 months, with preschool supervisor Kerry Burden telling the BBC "it's a really good thing for the children".
Last month, Labour promised to create 100,000 extra dental appointments for children in a bid to clear backlogs in England."We've even had children sent to hospital to actually have teeth removed at the age of three over poor hygiene and lack of parental knowledge about dental care." With parental consent, it means children are encouraged to brush their teeth at nursery every day, in addition to twice at home.
"It's a really good thing for the children, we've even noticed that parents are probably getting their children to brush their teeth at home a little easier because it's part of the nursery routine now," Ms Burden said.Doctor Neel Barchha, a principal dental surgeon at Willows Dental & Implant Centre in Wolverhampton, told the BBC that dental health in the region was getting worse.
