Effect of sweet things
Nearly half of eight-year-olds and a third of five-year-olds have signs of decay in their milk teeth. 

The 2013 Children's Dental Health Survey for England, Wales and Northern Ireland also found that 46% of 15-year-olds had decay in their teeth. But there were signs of improvement compared with 10 years ago, with an overall reduction in the number of cavities in children's teeth.

Things exciting
We were thrilled to be nominated this year for a Star award for "Outstanding contribution by a non-clinical department". The library supports Evidence Based Medicine, Clinical Governance, Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Safety by undertaking literature searches and supplying articles which can be used to guide the treatment patients of the trust. In addition, utilizing the information skills of the library staff saves clinicians an enormous amount of time. If you wish to find out more about this service please contact us. Sadly we didn't win...this year!
