Why your support is needed
Maintaining a healthy smile can be simple but for so many this can be very difficult.
Despite the many improvements in oral health over the last 40 years, inequalities continue to be a burden for countless individuals.
By supporting National Smile Month, you will be able to help us reach groups where oral disease is far too common.
National Smile Month is your chance to reach people in the heart of your community. Help others achieve better oral health by sharing important oral health messages.
Key messages for great oral health
- During National Smile Month, we are promoting four key messages for better oral health.
- Brush teeth for two minutes, last thing at night and one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth every day.
- Cut down how much and how often you have sugary foods and drinks.
- Visit a dentist regularly.
No matter how you decide to support the campaign, please make sure you help us communicate these important messages.
