Celebrating National Smile Month in lockdown

Since lockdown began on March 23rd, almost two thirds of us have been using video calling technology more often, new survey for Oral-B has found. A fantastic way to catch up with loved ones, collaborate with colleagues and improve pub quiz knowledge, we’ve been sharing stories and laughs with friends, colleagues and strangers alike – and this technology is certainly helping us through.

As this year, we celebrate National Smile Month in lockdown, a huge 84% of us agree that a smile from another person is now more important than ever before, whilst almost two thirds (60%) say the thing they love most about these video calls are simply seeing a familiar face and watching their friends and family smile.

To support during this period, Oral-B are offering free virtual hygienist appointments and run a live Q&A every other Thursday to ensure people can still receive advice from oral health professionals whilst they are unable to visit the dentist.
