Nursery nurse Christine Chatila said. 'The children have got quickly into the routine. After snacks, they do their dishes and then brush their teeth. They enjoy showing us how shiny their teeth are afterwards.' Statistics show that more than half - 55 per cent - of children in Scotland have dental disease by the age of five.
