With schools returning and more workplaces opening up to receiving visitors or more workers back in the workplace we have focused our Oral Health October PH campaign on:
Mental Health and Oral Health
Mental Health day is 10th October. As effective toothbrushing is vital to maintaining and improving oral health at all ages we have created a resource that can be used by all whilst also supporting the messages of the campaign.
