Kids brushed up on how to take care of their teeth with a series of special visits last month.

Dr Amir Kamburov of Poplar Dental in Wimbledon has made weekly trips to schools and nurseries to encourage brilliant brushing in Merton, Sutton and Wandsworth.

A spokesman for the practice said: “During the talks we provide the children with educational material and give them fun tasks, including role play games, drawing competitions and writing contests, which ensure that the children’s’ attention is captured and they will be motivated to sustain their future dental heath.”

On July 22 he shared his message with youngsters at Building Blocks Nursery in Dundonald Road, Wimbledon.
