UK - Polishing up on mouth health to bring out glittering smiles
Polishing up on mouth health to bring out glittering smiles .
A CAMPAIGN will launch on May 20 to improve the nation's oral health.
National Smile Month 2012 is being supported by some of the country's best-known oral hygiene brands, including Oral-B, Lloyds Pharmacy and Listerine.
National Smile Month is launched every year because despite improvements over the past few decades, millions of people in the UK still have poor oral health.
Experts estimate that around a third of children starting school have tooth decay, and that three in ten adults suffer from dental pain.
It has also been estimated that around a quarter of adults do not brush their teeth twice a day, and the same amount have not visited a dentist in the past two years.
National Smile Month is organised annually by the UK-based charity, the British Dental Health Foundation (BDHF), and this year it is also promoting water-saving initiatives in partnership with Save Water Save Money, along with 19 water companies.
Simon Howell, director of campaigns and fundraising for the BDHF, said: "This year, we have received incredible interest in National Smile Month and would like to thank all of our sponsors for their educational grants and generous charitable support."

I wonder why that many adults don't brush their teeth twice a day I mean isn't it nice to have a good white smile?
