News and blogs

There are so many ways to access news and information today that it’s sometimes a struggle to know what to believe and what might be best used as ‘fish ‘n’ chip paper’.

That’s why our press team is in constant communication with journalists, newspapers and broadcasters all across the country.  We have put a great importance on building and developing these relationships, firstly, so that we can drive oral health up the media agenda but most importantly, to ensure only independent, unbiased and correct information is printed.

With increasing inequalities, multiculturalism and divisions within our society, we realise that getting our messages out to different audiences is crucial.  We want to be a leader when it comes to oral health in the media and with many myths in circulation, we strongly believe that our role as an impartial and expert source of information is key to increasing knowledge about improving oral health and wellbeing.
