National Smile Month – will it work?

May 21, 2009

National Smile Month (a week isn’t long enough!) was launched again this year on Sunday 17th May.  Doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, Primary Care Trusts, schools, colleges and dental businesses are encouraged to support the British Dental Health Foundation’s campaign to promote good oral health.

At Confidental, we completely back the idea, in principle, but would love to know what other people think. Our view is that most people already subscribe to the idea that they ’should’ look after their teeth but for one reason or another they put off visiting their dentist.  Why IS that?  Answers on a postcard, or in the comments below please.

We’ve a few theories of our own as to why people put off a trip to the dentist, so to mark National Smile Month at Confidental we’ll be posting our ideas here over the next few days and weeks.  Hopefully these thoughts will help to overcome any worries you might have about coming to see us.
