Staff at Dental Practice are hoping to make a big impact for an incentive that promotes oral health.

This year National Smile Month takes place between 19 May and 19 June, and the success depends on thousands of individuals and organisations to raise awareness by organising events and activities of the importance of good oral health.

Bethany Mulchinock at Perfect 32 Dental who has been tasked with organising their events for National Smile Week said;

“We are really trying to make this as big as possible. By making this a big event, we are decreasing the fear factor of coming to the dentist for adults and children alike while promoting good oral health. This links into a good overall health involving healthy lifestyle and diet.”

“So far we are hosting a ‘4 miles for smiles’ fundraising event where three of the dental staff are swimming, running and biking 4 miles, each and the sponsorship proceeds are going to the Mouth Cancer charity Mouth Cancer Foundation.”

“A children’s competition of a ‘two-minute minute brushathon competition’ involving children brushing their teeth as close to two minutes without the use of a stopwatch or timer is another event we have arranged.”

“We are also hosting a children’s drawing competition based at the practice. We have organised some great prizes for winners, including dental related goody bags of bouncy balls, tooth spinning tops, brush charts and sugar-free lolly pops.”

“Finally we are organising a prize draw to fund raise more money with proceeds going to the oral cancer charity.”
“For this we have prizes of family tickets to The Deep, Honeysuckle Farm, Flamingo Land and prizes for the older participants of
Spa Vouchers, Free Spa Treatments, Free Set of Acrylic Nails, Free Family Meals at restaurants and Free Airpolishing Treatment.”
