May 2011 sees the start of the National event, Smile Month. The event is organized by the British Dental Health foundation and took place for the first time 35 years ago. The campaign is the largest annual oral health event in the UK and year after year provides thousands of people with the ideal opportunity to look at how they can improve their oral health.

This year’s theme, “The Smile Factor”, is all about the power of a smile, the ability it has to influence the success of our relationships and careers and the impact it has upon our lives.

Almost three times as many people say they judge someone they first meet by their smile, rather than their dress sense and over two-thirds of people agreed that having a good smile not only helps build people’s confidence psychologically and socially – but it also helps their love life, too!

This all adds to the established perception that the smile is one of our most important physical attributes. Just under half of us believe that having pearly white teeth is the most important aspect of a good smile, while more than a quarter of us rate straight, even teeth as an absolute must.

The first step to a confident smile is to make sure there are no problems with your basic oral health. Tooth decay and gum disease can look unsightly and cause bad breath, as well as potentially leading to more serious health problems.

Almost everyone suffers from gum disease at some point in their lives but with a good oral healthcare routine they can easily prevent it from developing into something more serious – so brush twice-a-day, and clean daily between the teeth with floss or brushes. At the Cahill Dental Care Centre, hygienists Debbie and Colin can guide you through the range of products available to best suit you.Tooth decay is a separate problem, but can be minimized by using a fluoride toothpaste, cut down how often you have sugary foods and drinks, and visit the dentist regularly.

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that people with gum disease are more at risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and, in the case of pregnant women, giving birth to underweight babies. However, gum disease is caused by poor oral healthcare and is, therefore, totally preventable.

The award winning Cahill Dental Care Centre pride themselves on the wide range of tooth straightening systems, and cosmetic procedures such as crowns, veneers, teeth whitening, bridges and implants to restore their clients mouth to health, function and beauty. In addition they are able to offer sedation for those patients whose fear has become an obstacle to them achieving the smile of their dreams.

This summer, the team at the Cahill Dental Care Centre want to put the smile back on peoples’ faces and help them display their full personalities. Send us a picture of your smile to info@cahilldentalcare.co.uk stating why you think you need the “Smile Factor” and one lucky winner will be in with a chance of winning FREE Teeth Whitening!

Your smile needs to be sent to us by the last day of National Smile Month which is 15th June 2011.
