Mill Street Dental Practice staged an afternoon which proved popular with members of the public

A STATE-OF-THE-ART facility to help residents suffering tooth-related trouble was officially opened in Sidmouth last week- more than a year after it started treating patients.

Mill Street Dental Practice staged an afternoon which proved popular with members of the public who were invited to demonstrations and displays, and given a chance to meet staff.

There are still a limited number of spaces available for NHS patients.

“While I was there they booked me in for an appointment,” said town council chairman Stuart Hughes, who officially opened the facility last Tuesday.

The Den Dental practice was designed with state-of-the-art equipment and will offer oral health education to schoolchildren as one of many services.

Anyone wishing to register as a patient can call 0844 3879903.
