It's here - welcome to the 50th Smile Month!

By Oral Health Foundation | 11th May 2026 | News

Today marks the start of the 50th Smile Month - a huge milestone for the UK's largest and longest-running oral health campaign.

For 50 years, Smile Month has brought together communities, dental professionals, schools, workplaces, charities, and supporters to champion the importance of good oral health and help improve smiles across the nation.

This year, we continue that mission by raising awareness of the vital links between oral health and overall wellbeing, encouraging positive habits, and reaching people with practical, life-changing advice.

50 years of smiles... now it's your turn

To celebrate this special anniversary, we're creating a Wall of Smiles - a collective showcase of the people, organisations, and communities helping to make a difference to oral health every single day.

We would love for you to be part of it.

Please share your smile and help spread the word through your colleagues, friends, communities, and wider networks.

Share Your Smile

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make the 50th Smile Month our biggest and most impactful yet.

Have a fantastic Smile Month!
