We love healthy smiles in Slough!
Starting Well dentist practices in Slough are holding another open day on Wednesday 30 October in half term to encourage parents with young children to come along and introduce them to the dentist.
Slough currently has the highest tooth decay rate in the South East and is one of 13 towns that have been identified nationally under the Starting Well: A Smile4Life Initiative, where tooth decay in under fives is at a particularly high level.
