Work with us Get involved Share your oral health story Share your oral health story Your story has the power to drive awareness, open conversations, and shape our campaigns. When people speak in their own words about what they’ve lived through, others listen, relate, and act. We’re looking for people who want to share their experiences – whether that’s in the media, in their communities, or with policymakers. You don’t need a perfect story or a clinical background. You just need honesty, and a willingness to help others understand why this matters. Where you can tell your story There are two main ways we can work with you: Media and press We can arrange local or national interviews for you to share your experiences on TV, radio, news sites and in print. Policy engagement We can support you to engage with your local MP, politicians and decision-makers. This helps raise issues in your area, and encourages action that can improve care, awareness and support for others. What kinds of stories are useful? We welcome stories about: Mouth cancer diagnosis or treatment. Tooth pain, extractions, or hospital care. Children’s tooth decay or tooth extractions, including repeat or multiple procedures. Struggles accessing dental or medical support. Long waits, barriers, or lack of information. The emotional impact of mouth or dental conditions. Confidence, eating, speaking, smiling, or social challenges. The impact oral health has had on families, work, school, or mental wellbeing. Turning to DIY dentistry. Choosing dental care abroad, or travelling for treatment. The impact of sugar consumption on teeth and gums. Inequality, cost pressures, or limited access to care. Everyday challenges that others may recognise themselves in. All stories are welcome Any personal experience about your mouth, your teeth, or access to care is important. We also welcome stories about the systems around care – what helped, what didn’t, what felt fair, and what didn’t. Your story might feel ordinary to you, but it could be life-changing for someone else. How we support you When you share your story with us, you’ll get: A dedicated contact from our team. Clear briefings and approved messaging for media or policy moments. Help choosing the right places to share your experiences. Support to make your voice heard locally and nationally. Share your story. Start a conversation. Spark change. Share your oral health story Manage Cookie Preferences
