National Smile Month 2018

National Smile Month is about sharing important messages about looking after our teeth, good oral health has so many benefits beyond our appearance, healthy teeth and gums prevents tooth loss and by keeping our teeth and gums healthy we are reducing our risk of certain cancers.

Lets celebrate National Smile Month with a Smiley Selfie!

The Big Summer Brush Up July 2017

With the summer holidays approaching, children are more likely to ask for treats and snacks, we are hoping that our message will encourage healthier options.

We want to help children & adults understand the sugar content of the most popular drinks and snacks. Seeing the amount of sugar in food and drinks is more effective than reading about it on the packaging.

Our window has been transformed to display the amount of sugar contained in popular snacks and drinks, correct brushing technique and interesting teeth and oral hygiene facts aimed at the children.

Come along this summer and bring the children to see our display next time you are in town!
