MANCHESTER VT: RNW A82/4: David Davies, snf, talking to Professor Phillip Holloway, of the Manchester University Dental School, about his statement that the old-fashioned ideas about looking after children’s teeth are “out-dated”. He’s produced figures that 75% of all five-year olds have decay - and so do 90% of school leavers - the real problem being sugar. The answer, according to Professor Holloway, is regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and adding fluoride to the water supplies. 3’03’’
