MOBILE DENTAL CLINICS BRING SMILES

THERE were toothy grins all round on Tuesday when Northern Province health MEC Sello Moloto handed over 12 mobile dental clinics worth R10-million as part of national oral health month. Two clinics will be stationed in each health district in the province as of the end of August to take basic dental care to thousands of rural people. Moloto handed over the clinics under the theme “A happy smile for the Millennium” and said that although oral diseases were not life threatening, they affected everyone at least once in their lives. – African Eye News Service
