Oral health hub launched

1 min read Patient education
Haleon has partnered with UK retailer Tesco to create a new initiative offering free oral health advice to its customers. The Haleon Oral Health Hub, being piloted in the Tesco Extra store in Cheshunt, will see a qualified oral health educator offer free advice to shoppers on how to take care of their teeth and mouth.

Customers can book a free appointment in the hub and receive tailored guidance on how to care for their oral health. They can also receive advice on how to support family members, such as children and elderly people, on how to maintain a healthy mouth.

Haleon has said it is important to provide clear, simple, and actionable individual advice on how to keep teeth and gums healthy, as data has revealed more than three-in-four adults (76 per cent) in the UK have experienced dental problems in the last year. The company said creating awareness of the best practices, especially when caring for young children is essential, as tooth decay was the leading cause for hospital admissions among five-to-nine-year-olds in England in 2023/2024.
