The Rural Dentist and Helping Hedgehogs

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, The Rural Dentist and Helping Hedgehogs

We're off to the rural dentist for a check-up and rescuing hedgehogs in Powys.

A scheme to boost the number of rural dentist in Wales, and a hedgehog rescue centre in Powys needs someone to take on a prickly role.

Politicians find a lack of clarity on the number of patients waiting for check-ups or dental treatment but could a new initiative encourage future dental trainees to take up opportunities across rural Wales to help ease the pain?  How to "sheep proof" your dog - the farmer training dogs not to chase livestock.  And a prickly but homely rescue centre in Powys - a call for volunteers to take on the role of helping hedgehogs in the county.
