PARENTS of children with special needs can now get advice on how to go about caring for the youngsters' teeth.

The Community Dental Service has issued an booklet with details of how to prevent and cope with dental problems.

Dental therapist Sue Bevan-Jones, said: "Preventing dental problems for children with disabilities is important.

"Many of the problems these youngsters experience are not preventable but fortunately most dental problems are."
