What is National Smile Month? And Why Should You Care?

Here at Dartford Road Dental Centre we are proud to be supporting National Smile Month.

#NSM2022 is all about shining a light on inequalities within oral health and at Dartford Road Dental Centre we strongly agree everyone should have the chance to have a happy healthy smile.

Millions of people each year are affected by oral health problems.  Oral diseases can leave you in extreme pain and affect your quality of life.  Sadly, oral diseases may also be life-threatening.

Oral health inequalities affect lots of different people and groups within society.  Your age, wealth, level of education and where you live can all determine how healthy, or unhealthy, your mouth might be.

Inequalities are often preventable.  They are also unfair and unjust.

In the UK, oral health inequalities can lead to a greater risk of:

• Oral diseases such as tooth decay and gum disease.
• Tooth loss and tooth extractions.
• Mouth cancer.
• Dental phobias and anxiety.
• Less access to frontline care and support services.

During National Smile Month, Dartford Road Dental Centre want to help patients in Kent achieve a healthier life through better oral health.

We have an affordable Denplan payment plan that can spread the cost throughout the year. At our Dartford practice we also offer 0% interest free finance plans up to 24 months.

We have a fantastic team of Dentists, Hygienists, Dental Nurses an Implantologist and an Orthodontist at our Dartford practice to ensure all your dental needs are covered in house.

We are helping to promote good oral health as part of @smilemonth. Because a healthy mouth matters #smile #SmileMonth
