Parents across Oldham are being encouraged to tackle the issue of tooth decay among young children.

Oldham council has launched the Big Brush campaign aimed at tackling the problem of poor dental hygiene among children and educating parents on the best ways to look after their child’s teeth.

The initiative comes after Oldham was labelled one of the worst boroughs in the UK for tooth decay among under five year olds.

It’s hoped the new campaign will help parents and their children stop the rot of tooth decay.
