Dental health checks for Kelbrook children
PUPILS at Kelbrook Children's Centre Nursery have plenty to smile about after taking part in East Lancashire Primary Care Trust's "Smiling for Life" programme.
This is a national initiative developed by the health education authority and funded by the Department of Health to promote the oral health of babies through to five-year-olds.
"The programme is very relevant in East Lancashire where many young children suffer pain and infection as a result of poor dental health," said a spokesman.
Staff at the nursery, based at the village school, worked hard to deliver the programme and were recently accredited with the "Smiling for Life" certificate by the oral health team.
