The Wales Liberal Democrats have announced their plans to boost children’s oral health, including employing salaried dentists to carry out school check-ups. A focus on dental health and prevention at primary school level and at playgroups and nurseries would also be a central part of the party’s plans. ‘For too long now, the dental services in Wales have been at crisis point,’ said health spokesperson Jenny Randerson, AM for Cardiff Central. ‘By focusing now on the health of children, we can ease pressures on the service in the long term. ‘By tackling the teeth of children in schools, we can focus on dental health and prevention for children. Research shows getting young children into the habit of brushing their teeth early in life improves their long-term health.’
