LEADING health charity, the Oral Health Foundation, is delighted to announce the return of National Smile Month for 2016. This year the campaign promises to be bigger and better than ever as it marks its 40th birthday.
This year the UK’s largest and longest running oral health campaign takes place between May 16 and June 16 and aims to increase awareness of important oral health issues and make a significant difference to the wellbeing of millions of people.
Together, with thousands of individuals and organisations, National Smile Month promotes three key messages at the heart of good oral health: brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste, cut down on how often you eat sugary foods and drinks, and visit the dentist regularly, as often as they recommend.
