Colgate, in cooperation with the British Dental Association, will launch the Colgate Oral Health Month during the month of September, 2011. The Colgate Oral Health Month is a campaign that aims to improve the oral health of the public. It also represents a perfect chance for there to be more communication between dentists and their patients. This year’s Colgate Oral Health Month is running under the theme, “The Importance of a Good Oral Care Regime for a Healthy Mouth” The event aims to send the public the following messages, some of which may not be currently followed: 1. Remember to brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, once before sleeping at night and another time through the day. 2. Do not wash your mouth with water after brushing, as this removes the fluoride. Instead, spitting would be enough. 3. Do not brush your teeth immediately following imbibing acidic food or drinks, as this increases enamel erosion. 4. Do try to stop having snacks and drinks between meals. 5. Make sure to visit your dentist on regular basis. |
