The British Dental Health Foundation has been providing free and impartial dental information to the public for more than 35 years.
The British Dental Health Foundation operates a free Dental Helpline (0845 063 1188) and runs the annual National Smile Month and Mouth Cancer Awareness Week campaigns.
“One of the biggest challenges faced by the Foundation is educating people on the dangers of too frequent consumption of sugar.
Sugary drinks are a particular problem and, as they are often sipped throughout the day, can cause the teeth to be placed under almost constant acid attack. Water, along with milk, is the only drink that the Foundation recommends as completely safe for teeth.It contains no sugar, no calories and no acid and, from a holistic point of view, by guarding against everything from headaches to heart disease, it is massively important to a person’s overall health.”
