Kids' 'tooth decay' video wins praise

2 mins read Children's dentistry
A new video all about tooth decay and made by kids (with a little help from dental experts) has just been released.

Staff of the School of Clinical Dentistry of the University of Sheffield joined forces with children aged 3-11 and a professional film editor, to create a six-minute video focusing on silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a technique for arresting dental caries.

Two adults feature in the film. One is Professor Paul Hatton, a materials scientist, who filmed himself in his lab at the University of Sheffield. The other is paediatric dentist Laura Timms, the academic clinical fellow who was instrumental in making the video, having been awarded a grant of £5460 jointly by the Faculty of Dental Surgery (FDS) of the Royal College of England RCS (Eng) and BSPD for her proposal.
