The British Dental Association (BDA) has declared September Colgate Oral health Month.
Throughout Oral Health Month (OHM), now in it’s eighth year, Colgate will be conducting a national tour of tooth brushing stations offering free advice to people who want to brush up on their oral hygiene practices.
The tooth brushing stations, which will be situated in pharmacies and Sainsbury’s, Morrissions, Asda and Tesco stores, will be manned by trained dental professionals and they will be recommending the best way to keep your teeth safe and healthy. The message of the 2009 campaign is campaign is ‘prevention in practice’.
As part of the scheme a number of guides have been created to provide information on oral care, Tip Top Teeth for kids (including brushing chart), preventing tooth decay and gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and adult oral health. According to the OHM website “it is never too late to rescue the health of your teeth”.
OHM is also a charity event helping to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (BHF). For every used toothbrush donated Colgate will give 10p to help fund the BHF nursing programme. The BHF and Colgate are aiming to raise more than £300,000 whilst highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle. 
The BDA is a professional association and trade union for dentists which works to ensure it is a national player in the development of healthcare policy. It is working with Colgate on this vital initiative in the fight to change people’s dental hygiene habits to ensure better oral health for all.
