Dentist hatches plan to save kids’ teeth

One of the UK's leading dentists has hatched a plan to save kids' teeth - by creating Easter eggs containing a toothbrush, some toothpaste and a guide to healthy brushing. The cracking concept comes from London-based dentist Anoop Maini who faced a personal dilemma deciding what to give young members of his family for Easter.

"Kids all over Britain will be eating chocolate this Easter, and why not?" says Maini, founder of Aqua Dental Spa in central London.

"At Aqua Dental Spa we believe in general dentistry with a difference. Good oral hygiene does not mean you have to completely avoid chocolate and sugary foods, but it's important that you have a balanced diet and take care of your teeth.

"With our egg, kids get their sweet treat but are then encouraged to think about their teeth and take care of them."

Maini's ‘Good Egg’ is made with the finest chocolate and is packed full of dental goodness, including a tube of toothpaste, a good quality brush and information on better brushing.

The eggs are being offered free to patients at Aqua Dental Spa as a healthy and tasty alternative Easter gift for friends and family.

"This is about educating adults and children alike," says Maini.

"People might think it's crazy for a dentist to give kids chocolate but this is better than other eggs they will get this Easter. They are still delicious but contain a healthy message that I hope children will remember for the rest of their lives.

"It's the Easter gift that keeps on giving."

Anoop Maini is one of the UK's leading cosmetic dentists and Aqua Dental Spa believe in "general dentistry with a difference".
