Everyone deserves a healthy smile!
Did you know from 16th May-16th June it’s “National Smile Month 2022”? Aimed at raising awareness on inequalities within oral health.
Millions of people every year are affected by oral health problems. Oral diseases can leave you in extreme pain and affect your quality of life. Oral health inequalities affect lots of different people and groups within society. Your age, wealth, level of education and where you live can all determine how healthy, or unhealthy, your mouth might be.
The Oral Health Foundation 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.
Protect your natural smile – Your oral health is an important part of your wellbeing.
