MSP promotes dental health

PEOPLE living in rural areas of the Lothians should not be forgotten in the drive to improve dental health, an MSP has said.

Following the announcement of figures showing more than three-quarters of people were registered with a dentist, Liberal Democrat health spokeswoman Alison McInnes said those in less central zones needed to be helped.

She said: “The focus now must be on those harder to deal with areas such as people living in rural communities.”
