The four key messages that the Oral Health foundation are promoting during this year National Smile Month are:

·         Brush for two minutes last thing at night and on at least one other occasion during the day with a fluoride toothpaste

·         Clean between your teeth everyday

·         Cut down on how much and how often you have sugary foods and drinks

·         Visit the dentist regularly

Alongside the Oral Health Foundation, we believe that everybody deserves a healthy smile and that a person’s oral health is a crucial part of their overall health.

We’ll be getting involved with National Smile Month at the practice so don’t be surprised if you see us with some promotional ‘smileys’ or wearing our National Smile Month facemasks around town!  You can also get involved in the following ways:

·         Rate My Plate: Let the National Smile Month panel ‘Rate Your Plate’ and see what changes you could make to improve your oral health

·         The Great British Brushathon: On Wednesday 2nd June The Great British Brushathon will connect people from all around the country in one giant communal brush event.

·         Sharing Your Smile Around The UK: Share your smile on social media with the #sharingasmile

·         Oral Health Education for Children: Dental Buddy provides you with everything you need to teach oral health education at home
