The launch of the new Starting Well scheme has been welcomed by the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) as an important step in trying to reduce oral health inequalities in children.

Starting Well is to operate in 13 areas of England where children’s oral health is worst. Dental practices will, among other initiatives, hold open days and family events to improve access for young children.
