Celebrated on 6th August every year, National Fresh Breath Day is a day that not only reminds people to keep their breath smelling as minty fresh as possible, but also urges people to make sure that their oral hygiene is as good as it can be.
The detection and identification of the cause of bad breath can play an important role in the early diagnosis of certain illnesses. For example, periodontitis (gum disease) can cause premature tooth decay if left untreated. For this reason, it is necessary to raise awareness about the condition, as persistent bad breath is a sign that something is not working properly.
We’ve put together some tools and resources for you to share with your employees that help bring awareness to the importance of maintain good oral hygiene.
