Understanding real experiences is essential to improving oral health for everyone.

Our surveys help us listen directly to the public - learning what you face, what you know, and where support or change is needed most.

The information you share gives us a clearer picture of everyday challenges and helps ensure our campaigns, advice and policy work are grounded in real life, not assumptions.

What we ask, and why

Our surveys may include questions about:

• Access to dental and health care.

• Personal experiences with the mouth, teeth, or cancer care.

• Challenges with eating, speaking, smiling, or pain.

• Family, school, or work impact.

• Daily habits and routines.

• Food and drink choices, including sugar consumption.

• Awareness of symptoms and where people go for help.

We ask these questions because change starts with evidence, and evidence starts with people. Without real input, the full picture stays hidden.

What we do with the information

Your responses help us to:

• Spot emerging issues early.

• Shape future campaigns and awareness months.

• Brief health, education, workplace and policy partners.

• Strengthen conversations with decision-makers.

• Guide research priorities.

• Build reports that influence long-term planning.

How we use your answers

We never collect information just to store it. Every answer is reviewed and turned into insight. That insight becomes action - in public messaging, professional resources, policy discussions, and future planning.

Survey results may appear in our:

• Campaign strategy and messaging.

• Public awareness work.

• Professional guidance and toolkits.

• Policy briefings.

• Impact reports and thought leadership pieces.

This means your voice doesn’t stop at a form – it travels into the decisions and conversations that matter.
