We are very saddened to hear of the passing of George Brinley Evans. George was a close friend of the Miners’ Library and passionate about adult education. A former miner, he was also an accomplished author and artist. His storytelling, humour and comradeship will be much missed

Taking your baby to the dentist when their teeth first come through or at least by the age of 1 gets them off to a healthy start & used to dental practice visits. So don't wait book up your babys 1st appointment before they turn 1! https://t.co/NGdpNCW9Hx #DCby1#babyteeth
An important part of our work is sharing advice with #parents and #carers on looking after their children's teeth to protect them from dental decay. Lots more guidance can be found on our website: https://t.co/9pYwUQWs5w

Sugars are active on our teeth for up to an hour after we eat or drink therefore it is important to give our teeth time (at least a couple of hours) to clear & recover from these sugar attacks. Choose tooth friendly snacks and drinks between meals!💋
