Year 2 children in 24 primary schools across Torbay have been brushing up on their dental health, thanks to a new project funded by Torbay Council.
The scheme, known as Open Wide and Step Inside, has seen the Dental Outreach Team go in to schools to deliver 45-minute oral health education lessons.
The outreach team is run by the Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise, which delivers programmes across Devon and Cornwall.
Each child receives a goody bag containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, two-minute timer and a sticker and each class also receives a resource story book for the school library so good habits can continue long after the lesson ends.
