Tooth decay shock of our young
by Siobhan Ryan

Tooth decay among younger children has reached disturbing levels, according to ealth experts. The rise in children suffering problems with their teeth has been blamed on a growth in sugary diets and drinks. Some dentists also blamed a lack of NHS dental care.
The South East Health Observatory released a survey showing a third of five-year-olds in Sussex suffered tooth decay. The report analysed data from health uthorities across the county over seven years. In Bexhill, the position was much worse - tooth decay affected 37 per cent of five-year-olds.
