The importance of visiting your dental professional
Ben Atkins, President of the Oral Health Foundation
With helpful advice from your dental professional and regular at-home care, you can reduce your risk of gum disease affecting your mouth.
Gum disease is a very common condition, which affects most adults in the UK at some point in their lives. The most common cause is a sticky coating of plaque either round or in between your teeth. Other factors that can lead to gum disease include:

The best electric toothbrush for kids
Ben Atkins, President of the Oral Health Foundation
Electric toothbrushes do an excellent job of removing plaque from teeth and improving your gum health, and many people find them much easier to use and more effective than a manual brush. The earlier we get into good brushing habits the better, so an electric toothbrush is a good choice for children too.
Eat well, keep gums healthy and live longer
Juliette Reeves, Nutritionist and Dental Hygienist
It may seem obvious, but the cause is down to diet. Mainly, an increased consumption of foods and drinks high in fat, sugar and salt. As growing evidence suggests poor nutrition is associated with oral and wider-health diseases, the role of good nutrition and a balanced diet becomes even more important.
New reports say rates of obesity across the world have tripled since 1975. More than one in ten (13%) are classed as obese while over a third (39%) are deemed overweight.
Smile! It's National Smile Month
The campaign is organised by the Oral Health Foundation and supports millions of people in developing and maintaining a healthy smile. Everybody deserves the right to good oral health. By working together during National Smile Month, we can make this happen.
#habits4life is launching to coincide with National Smile Month – a charity campaign that champions the benefits of good oral health.
