Is going to your dentists a bit like pulling teeth? Are you fed up with their prodding and scraping? This science conversation gives you the chance to hear about new ways of detecting tooth decay.

You can find out the latest news of dentistry gadgets and gizmos, and how they may affect our lives and our health.
