200 dentists gather in Tullow hotel for annual conference

Every child should see a dentist at 12 months according to best international practice.

Thats the call from the Irish Dental Association as 200 professionals gather in the Mount Wolsely Hotel in Tullow for their annual conference.

They will hear from the Health Minister this afternoon who is due in Carlow shortly.

President of the Association, Dr Anne Twomey says lots of future problems could be avoided if children are seen early on
