Fighting tooth decay

Afternoons - A podcast by RNZ - Thursdays

It's a big day today for a Christchurch based charity which is on a mission to improve the dental health of our tamariki. The BYTE charitable trust provides toothbrushes and toothpaste to classrooms of six- and seven-year olds who then get together for a group brushing activity twice daily. The pilot programme has today been launched at Te Komanawa Rowley School in Christchurch's Hoon Hay. Martin Erasmussen is a BYTE trustee and he talks to Jesse from the launch.
