Dental care provider teams up with oral health charities

1 min read Oral health and mouth cancer
To raise awareness of mouth cancer, Smile Together partnered with the Oral Health Foundation and the Mouth Cancer Foundation in November 2024, as part of Mouth Cancer Action Month.

With over 10,825 cases of mouth cancer diagnosed annually in the UK, the campaign focused on the importance of early detection to improve survival rates. By sharing information about the risks, causes, and self-check techniques, the collaboration aimed to empower communities to take action and ‘know their normal.’

Smile Together’s practices have supported the campaign, creating vibrant and educational displays to spark conversations about oral health and mouth cancer awareness amongst its patients and colleagues.

The Smile Together teams also embraced #BlueWednesday, wearing blue outfits, lipstick, and selfie props to raise awareness. The dental provider held a competition to recognise the most creative and impactful displays, awarding prizes to the winning teams.
