National Smile Month: Funniest Animal Smiles

It’s National Smile Month (May 19 – June 19) and the spotlight is on the UK’s teeth and gums. This massive oral health campaign by the British Dental Foundation aims to get everyone thinking about their oral health. The campaign has 3 key messages:

Brush your teeth for 2 minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks
Visit your dentist regularly, as often as they recommend

Brush up your smile

If your smile needs a spring clean, why not visit our hygienists. They can give your teeth a deep clean with a scale and polish. And, importantly, work alongside your dentist to help keep your gums and mouth healthy.

If you need a bit more help to get your smile in tip top condition, we offer a range of treatments to boost your smile confidence. So if missing or chipped teeth make you feel like hiding your smile – or you feel you’d like a whiter smile – get in touch.

Smiling is good for you

Having a healthy smile is not just important for our oral health. Smiling is actually good for loads of other reasons. Smiling has a positive effect on the heart, blood pressure and immune system, for example. And, cracking a smile can make us seem more sociable and successful. A smile can even increase our chances of getting promoted at work. So, top off your smile-tank, with a glance at some of our funny four-legged friends saying “cheese”.
