National Smile Month this year provides a good reason for us to smile after what has been a difficult period in many of our lives. It is a reminder that oral health is integral to so many other areas of our wellbeing. It also provides an opportunity to raise awareness among the general public about the importance of oral hygiene and ensure that everyone seeks the support they need.

Whether you are promoting the iconic Smiley, posting selfies, getting the kids involved with the Great British Brushathon or challenging patients to make a sugar swap, you can help more patients enjoy the benefits of better oral health. The British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show remains an avid supporter of the Oral Health Foundation’s annual campaign and we look forward to seeing the innovative ways you get involved this year!
