It is also about looking forward. Smile Month has always adapted to the times. The next 50 years will bring new challenges and new opportunities. To mark this milestone, a special report will be published in May. It will explore the most important and influential moments in oral health over the past five decades. It will also set out what we believe is needed in the years ahead. The report will look back at: Major changes in policy and public awareness. Key developments in research, products and services. How communities and partners have shaped progress. The role of national campaigns in changing habits. What we believe is needed to improve oral health over the next 50 years. The vision is simple. A future where everyone has the knowledge, confidence and support to care for their smile. The next 50 years start now. Manage Cookie Preferences
