National Smile Month kicked off with London launch event

The launch event marked the start of the UK’s biggest oral health awareness campaign, which runs from May 12 to June 12, 2025. In its 49th year, National Smile Month aims to unite the dental profession, community partners, and sponsors in promoting better oral health for all. This year’s theme, ‘Feed Your Smile’, shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked connection between diet and oral health.

Nigel Carter, chief executive of the Oral Health Foundation, opened the event, saying, “You can’t have good general health without oral health.”

Nigel said, “National Smile Month is about much more than just raising awareness. It’s about bringing people together – working across the profession and with our trade sponsors to actively promote oral health to communities, patients, and the wider public in meaningful and impactful ways.”
