A TEAM of health workers in Sedgefield has added a new expert to its ranks.
In a bid to improve the borough's oral health, Sedgefield Primary Care Trust has employed dental nurse Debbie Ramshaw.
As health improvement facilitator for oral health, she will work with the public health improvement team, dental practices, SureStart children's centres, health visitors and school nurses.
Ms Ramshaw, who previously held a similar post with Durham Dales trust, will be encouraging youngsters to drink more milk and eat more fruit and vegetables to strengthen their teeth and all-round diet.
