We are in the business of healthy smiles but do we maximise all the benefits of good oral health?
By looking closely at why Smiling really is Awesome, we can develop more understanding of the insightful evidence and gain a lived experience that will shine through when we talk to our patients, creating a truly positive impactful relationship.
Smiling is good for us and good for business and the potential is unlimited.
With open minds, we can look out beyond our surgery walls and within our hearts to reach others like never before.
Jo will share evidence from a wide variety of sources as well as review learnings from her "Awesome Smiles" oral health promotion project 2023 pilot.
