title: What do we know about... Oral health for families?
abstract: The author outlines improvements in Britain's dental health and summarises practical advice to pass on to families with young children and adults of all ages. The importance of fluoride and moderating the frequency of snacks is emphasised. Current thinking on diet and dental decay is discussed, including new developments in our understanding of the part played by carbohydrates, which is less simplistic than previously thought.
