Youngsters were given advice about brushing and looking after their teeth when a dentist held a special children’s week.

Hatfield Peverel Dental Surgery, in The Street, Hatfield Peverel, aimed to educate children in an enjoyable environment.

Dentist Charlotte Leigh said: “For young children who haven’t attended a dentist before or who haven’t been very often this is an easier and more enjoyable way for them to visit.

“All children that attended received free check-ups, free treatments and a goody bag.”

Staff from the surgery also attended local nurseries to give children brushing and diet advice.

Another children’s week is planned for October.
