National Smile Month is all about championing the benefits of having good oral health and promoting the value of a healthy smile.
Maintaining a healthy smile can be simple but for so many in the UK oral disease is far too common. Despite the many improvements in oral health over the last 40 years, inequalities continue to be a burden for countless individuals.
We wanted to get involved by helping to spread the message of the four main ways you can achieve a healthy smile.
1. Brush teeth for two minutes, last thing at night and one other time during the day, with fluoride toothpaste.
2. Clean between your teeth every day.
3. Cut down how much and how often you have sugary foods and drinks.
4. Visit a dentist and hygienist regularly.
