Attending a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dentistry at Parliament, she lent her support as it aims to increase awareness of oral health issues.
The meeting highlighted the current state of the nation’s dental health, emphasising the value of preventive care and the role patients and dental professionals play in its improvement. It also explored the fact that children as young as five-years-old are undergoing multiple extractions because of preventable tooth decay.
Rebecca Harris said: ‘It is well recognised that good dental health is an indicator of good general health. So it is important that everybody has the opportunity to access a dentist, brushes twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and appreciates the role of good diet in maintaining oral health.
’I’m delighted to lend my support to the All-Party Parliamentary Group’s campaign to improve the oral health of the nation.’
