Taking place between 13 May-13 June, National Smile Month is all about championing the benefits of having good oral health and promoting the value of a healthy smile. For our industry, it is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of important oral health issues, educate patients on how to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth and suggest effective dental products that reflect the needs of the patient.
You and your team can play an influential role in helping patients achieve good oral health by discussing their daily hygiene routines, what it involves and why it is good for their smile.
Oral health is linked to a range of conditions around the body and mind, but not all patients know it. When discussing oral hygiene best practice, it can be worth reminding patients of the most common oral health diseases and what can be done to avoid them.

Let your patients know what oral health products are needed to achieve a healthy, long-lasting smile and explain what the different products are, how they’re used and what difference they really make.
Stocking up on oral hygiene products like interdental brushes, toothbrushes, floss and mouthwashes can help your patients continue on from the good work you’ve done in practice when they get home.
Promote the mental health benefits of having a health smile and what patients can do to fall in love with theirs.
For patients whose oral health is in a good shape and are looking for an extra special something, consider how to recommend your tooth whitening solutions and explain how quick, easy and convenient professional teeth whitening is.
To help, we've lowered the price on one of our most popular tooth whitening systems, Big White Smile, available in four user-friendly formulas to suit different patient lifestyles.
A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).
