National Smile Month 2024 launch event celebrates oral health and wellbeing

Running under the theme of ‘Love Your Smile,’ National Smile Month aims to inspire people to prioritise oral health and wellbeing.

The campaign seeks to foster positive habits that promote healthier smiles and happier lives. The initiative encourages everyone to embrace their smile by taking proactive steps towards better oral health.

Speaking at the event, Nigel Carter, chief executive of the Oral Health Foundation, emphasised the importance of the campaign as a vehicle to transform oral health habits.

Nigel said, “This is the 48^th National Smile Month, making it one of the longest-running oral health campaigns in the world. But it’s more than just a few weeks of dental awareness – it’s a movement. Our aim is to promote good oral hygiene, raise awareness about the importance of healthy teeth and gums, and inspire positive habits that last a lifetime.
