Kids in the US are receiving free dental treatments.
Up to 400 underprivileged children in Miami are set to get free emergency dentistry treatments.
Nova Southeastern University (NSU) has set up a $58,000 (£36,200) grant to help provide dental services to children the area who cannot afford treatments.
Children from elementary schools in North Beach will receive free tooth-cleanings, fluoride sealant application and oral hygiene advice as part of the scheme.
Research carried out by NSU revealed that 50 per cent of children who had no health insurance had not seen a dentist in more than a year.
Elsewhere, the UK’s first mobile emergency dentist’s surgery – DentalXPress – was recently launched to provide services for those who cannot find an NHS dentist.
Amarjit Gill, a spokesperson for DentalXpress, said: “The mobile clinics have all the regular amenities found at static dental practices. They contain a waiting area, four private treatment rooms, disabled toilets and even a staff room.”
