Hello to our wonderful York community! 🏰
At Heslington Dental Practice, we believe a healthy smile is the ultimate accessory. That’s why we are so excited to join the nation in celebrating National Smile Month 2026! This year is extra special as it marks the 50th anniversary of the campaign, and we want to help the people of Heslington and the University of York keep their pearly whites in tip-top shape.
What is National Smile Month? 🦷
Running from 11 May to 11 June 2026, this campaign, led by the Oral Health Foundation is all about raising awareness for oral health. Whether you’re a student at the University of York (just minutes from our door!) or a long-term local resident, it’s the perfect time to “feed your smile” and refocus on those daily habits.
Our Top Tips for a “Golden” Smile 🌟
To celebrate 50 years of smiles, here are the four pillars of a perfect routine:
- Two for Two: Brush for two minutes, twice a day (last thing at night and at one other time), using a fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean Between: Don’t forget to floss or use interdental brushes daily to catch the bits your toothbrush misses.
- Spit, Don’t Rinse: After brushing, spit out the excess paste but don’t rinse with water! This keeps the protective fluoride on your teeth for longer.
- Watch the Sugar: Try to limit sugary snacks and drinks to mealtimes to give your enamel a break.
