Be inspired

The charity is encouraging everybody to get involved in the campaign between May 15 and June 15, by organising activities and events which will promote oral health within local communities.

Nigel Carter OBE, CEO of the Oral Health Foundation, said, “Taking part in National Smile Month is so easy. It doesn’t necessarily involve lots of time or money, just the passion to make a difference and help promote oral health in your community. Whether it’s in your dental practice, hospital or general practice, school, pharmacy, retail outlet, workplace or even out on the streets themselves, use the campaign to educate people about the importance of good oral health.

“Our ultimate goal is to improve the oral health of every person in the UK and enable them to smile with confidence. This is a huge task that we need your help to achieve.

“We are looking for people who can take our values and desire for oral health education and come up with fun and engaging ways to spread the word among their community.”
