News to make you smile

It’s National Smile Month!

There’s plenty to put a smile on your face over the next few weeks as National Smile Month runs from 15 May to 15 June. At Chrysalis Finance, we’re fully behind the message for 2023 from organisers, the Oral Health Foundation, which is all about brushing your teeth for better health. The National Smile Month website has lots of ideas, advice and resources for dentists and their patients.

Four key messages for better oral health

  • The goal is better oral health for everyone, and the four key messages that National Smile Month is promoting are as follows:
  •           Brush your teeth for two minutes last thing at night and one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste
  •           Clean between your teeth every day using floss or interdental brushes
  •           Cut down how much and how often you have sugary foods and drinks
  •           Visit a dentist regularly

 

Two sessions of two minutes’ brushing per day is such a tiny commitment, everyone can manage it. In those two minutes it’s important to:

  • Brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Brush your tongue
  • Clean in between your teeth with interdental brushes or floss at least once
  • Use a mouthwash at least once

Smile! There’s a lot to be happy about

Even with good brushing habits, some dental procedures are unavoidable, and some are elective, such as teeth straightening to enhance your smile as an adult. If you are a patient, you may find it’s convenient to opt for these treatments privately and spread the cost in monthly instalments. If you are a dentist, it’s important to offer your patients that option.

The news to make you smile is that spreading the cost of dental treatments couldn’t be easier with Chrysalis Finance. We partner with over 3000 carefully vetted clinics in the UK to enable them to offer payment options to their patients.

As a patient, if you would like to spread the cost of your treatment with monthly payments, ask your dentist if they are a Chrysalis partner. If they are, it’s easy to apply and you can get a decision on your application very quickly, allowing you to get your treatment started as soon as your dentist can fit you in. If you don’t have a dentist who offers payment options, head to our website and find your nearest approved dentist.

As a dentist, payment options from Chrysalis Finance can make you smile too. They respond to your patients’ need for control over how they budget for a treatment and they mean that you can carry out more treatments, knowing that payment is guaranteed. Call us on 0333 32 32 230 for more information.

More from National Smile Month

If you are a dentist, get into the spirit of National Smile Month and head to the shop on the website for some fun and educational resources to help get the oral health message across to your patients . We particularly like the Smileys, which cost just £2.50 for a pack of 10 – and the proceeds go towards a great cause.

And anyone can ‘Nominate a Smile’. That’s someone who goes the extra mile to bring a smile to the faces of people around them in the community. You just need to email the team at National Smile Week with a photo and a short description of someone that you think deserves to be recognised for their good deeds, and if they win, they will receive a prize. See the full details here on the National Smile Month website.
