Dental health experts will be on hand to educate children and their parents about good oral care at a food festival.

Experts in interdental care TePe have teamed up with the Dental Health Spa in Queen's Road, Brighton, to host a Brushing Booth at the Brighton Food Festival.

The booth will give families top tips on how to keep teeth looking spick and span, as well as raising cash for Mouth Cancer Awareness.

Elaine Tilling, TePe's head of clinical education, said: “Oral care is a very important part of everybody's daily routine, so we feel this is a fantastic opportunity for us to meet lots of people to demonstrate best practise in helping to keep their teeth and gums, healthy.

“We will be supporting Dental Health Spa by sharing advice and tips on good oral care as well as showing people how clean their 'feasting fangs' are.

"Our team of dental professionals from Dental Health Spa and the British Dental Health Foundation will be on site to offer advice on how to encourage your children to brush regularly and effectively, providing samples of disclosing tablets which help identify plaque build-up in the mouth as well as sending everybody away with a goodie bag full of tools to help them on their way.”

Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival takes place until June 1. The Brushing Booth will be available until Sunday.
