Dentist says education on sugar intake and regular cleaning plays an important role in preventing dental issues

It comes after a Tynwald committee investigating how government provides dental care to children on the Island called for improvements.
But Mark Hepworth says a good cleaning routine and limiting sugar intake have a big role to play in stopping dental issues developing:
