A picture created by dentist Dr Ian Davis was chosen by global charitable foundation the Wellcome Trust as their Image of the Month.

The picture, 'Sugar Attack', is part of Toothville, a collection of pictures created by Dr Davis and used as a vehicle to promote oral health, especially in children.

The Wellcome Trust is 'dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in health by supporting the brightest minds' focusing on researchers, application of research and medicine in culture.

'It is great that an image relating to dentistry has been chosen,' said Dr Davis, who is a dentist in North London. Other images in his Toothville gallery, which came about when Dr Davis combined his love of photography and dentistry, show cleaners, painters and scuba divers set around real dental models and engaged in excavation and restoration activities.
