Charity promoting oral health
The Oral Health Foundation promotes oral health through education, advocacy, and community support in the UK. Their manifesto, "Prevention, care, education: A people’s manifesto for improved oral health," emphasizes preventive measures and public awareness. They run initiatives like National Smile Month, the longest campaign for oral health education, and Mouth Cancer Action Month to increase awareness. Programs such as Dental Buddy offer free learning resources for children, fostering early education on oral hygiene. The Foundation’s Janet Goodwin Memorial Fund supports dental nursing careers, while their appeals help provide dental packs for children and drive efforts to combat mouth cancer.
