Colgate celebrates Oral Health Month with supermarket giveaway

Colgate, one of the UK’s leading oral hygiene product manufacturers, is celebrating Oral Health Month by offering the chance to win £300 worth of supermarket vouchers.

Oral Health Month will run throughout the month of September and this year’s theme is ‘Love Your Mouth, It’s Good For Your Health’. The aim is to encourage people to look after their teeth and gums and inform the public about the potential dangers associated with neglecting their oral health. Numerous studies have now identified a link between poor oral health and an increased risk of several serious illnesses, including diabetes, strokes and heart disease.

To celebrate Oral Health Month, Colgate has teamed up with Sainsbury’s to offer one lucky winner £300 worth of shopping vouchers and a bag of oral health goodies; the competition details can be found on Colgate’s Facebook page and the closing date is the 12^th October.

As part of Oral Health Month, dentists are urging people to brush their teeth twice a day for at least two minutes each time, rinse with mouthwash, floss and visit their dentist for regular check-ups. Dentists are also eager for people to keep an eye on their diet, as sugary foods and drinks increase the risk of acid erosion, gum disease and decay.
