Smile Month

Between 11 May and 11 June 2026, the Oral Health Foundation will raise awareness of important oral health issues.

Join the nation's biggest oral health campaign and help bring a smile to millions of people.

This year is our biggest year yet as we get ready to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Smile Month, and we need your smiling faces to make it happen.

There are lots of different activities you can take part in for Smile Month. Have a look at the full list here.

Take part

We believe smiles have the power to change lives. They lift spirits, strengthen communities and brighten even the toughest days.

That’s why we’re inviting you to take part in our Nominate A Smile competition and help us recognise the incredible people who make a difference every single day. 

Is there someone in your life who: 

  • Goes out of their way to make their community a better place?

  • Puts others first at every opportunity?

  • Can light up a room with their smile?

We want to celebrate them.


How it works

Throughout Smile Month, we will select a winner each week to receive a special prize. All you need to do is:

  • Send us a photo of your nominee (they must be smiling!)

  • Include a short description telling us why they deserve to be recognised

It could be a community hero, a member of staff who has gone above and beyond, a healthcare professional, or simply someone who brings joy to those around them.

If they make a positive difference, we want to hear their story.


Why do we run Nominate A Smile?

Smile Month is the UK’s largest and longest-running oral health campaign.

Every year, we work with thousands of supporters to raise awareness of important oral health issues and promote better well-being for millions.

Nominate A Smile allows us to celebrate not only healthy smiles, but the people behind them. It’s our way of shining a spotlight on kindness, dedication and positivity in our communities.
