Oral health online

Visitors to the British Dental Health Foundation’s website – www.dentalhealth.org – have increased by a staggering 155 per cent in the last year alone.  After an online re-launch more than 12 months ago, the charity believes the coverage of oral health issues in national media has played a significant part in people wanting to know more about the health of their mouth.

Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, said: “Throughout the years we have strongly invested in developing high quality online platforms and materials   based on core values of original content, delivered regularly by reliable and trustworthy sources. 

“The website contains an extraordinary amount of content for users, which is constantly updated and added to by the British Dental Health Foundation's team of writers and dentally-qualified experts. The ‘Tell Me About' series gives users an extensive hub of information relating to a variety of oral health issues, ranging from routine procedures and treatments, to various oral conditions and diseases. The information is laid out in a clear question and answer format and has all been approved by the Word Centre for Plain English.
