Bringing a Smile to Utah
National Smile Month is coming to Utah, as West Family
Dental will be holding a special event to back the international campaign.
To show their support, the team from West Family Dental in
Murray Utah, will be holding a 'Best Smile in Utah' contest from May 1 through
May 30, 2012 that aims to put the smile into National Smile Month. By holding
the contest on their facebook page, the team hope to raise awareness of how
important oral health is. The grand prize is $4000 worth of free dental
procedure(s) for the winner's friend, family member, or themselves, and a $250
gift card.
Dr West from West Family Dental said: “National Smile Month is
an excellent opportunity to bring an element of fun to a serious issue.
“Good oral health is vital for a healthy smile as well as a
healthy body, and we’ll be spreading that message at our facebook page via the
contest.”
The Foundation’s Chief Executive Dr Nigel Carter said: “I’m
delighted that West Family Dental has joined the many schools, colleges, health
professionals and other dental practices in engaging with National Smile Month.
It is a great reflection of local community spirit and an excellent way to
promote good oral health.
“Taking place from May 1 to May 30, the campaign is an ideal
opportunity to learn about oral health in a fun and positive way.
“By making an event as fun and imaginative as possible, we hope
it will inspire more people to join in the fun than ever before while
delivering the Foundation’s three key messages for good oral health of brush
for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cut down on how often
you have sugary foods and drinks and visit the dentist regularly – as often as
they recommend.”
