Dar es Salaam. Children with severe tooth pain, fear of dental treatment or conditions that make it difficult to sit through procedures, now have a sigh of relief, thanks to the launch of the first unit dedicated to treating such children.

The group have long had limited access to specialised dental care, but the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) has launched a Paediatric Dental Sedation Unit, giving children access to specialised dental treatment in an environment designed around their needs.
