Educational resources are key

Together with thousands of individuals and organisations, National Smile Month highlights key messages all of which go a long way in helping deliver better oral health for all.

With this year’s campaign due to start on May 16, the charity wants to remind all dental and healthcare professionals to support their important work by purchasing patient and campaign materials through their online store.

Director of educational resources, Amanda Oakey, explained why healthcare professionals should get involved in National Smile Month and how they can get the most out of the charity’s campaigns tools and products:

“At the Oral Health Foundation we are determined to improve oral health in the UK. Not only do our educational resources play a significant role in communicating, educating and motivating patients towards developing and maintaining better oral health but the funds raised through them enable us to achieve our charitable goals.

“With your help and hard work we are able to get important messages to individuals and communities who are often disadvantaged, vulnerable and more at risk of oral disease.
