Peppersmith

Peppersmith were already part of the Oral Health Foundation family, with their gum, mints and pastilles being ‘Approved’ under our Accreditation programme since 2013, but this year they also joined us as a sponsor of National Smile Month.

Our aims during the campaign were to promote good oral health routines, but also to raise awareness of more sugar-free snacking options.

Sugar free confectionary is something that we really support.

In addition to their sponsorship in 2018, Peppersmith also made the cake for National Smile Month’s 40^th birthday a few years earlier. It was a completely sugar-free cake made from peppermint and xylitol. It was also delicious!

Take a look at the Peppersmith products that we accredit and also this really cool video….

Peppersmith and National Smile Month

Peppersmith make sugar-free mints and gum that are sweetened with 100% xylitol. Their mission is to inspire a healthy teeth revolution with great tasting dental mints and gum that fit into people’s busy, health conscious lifestyles. Their mints and gum help to improve oral health by reducing cavities, plaque and acid attacks.

Unlike sugar which feeds the bacteria in your teeth, the naturally derived sweetener xylitol can kill the bacteria by up to 90% leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Peppersmith mints and gum also contain no aspartame, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, making them an all-round healthy product.

Peppersmith are supporting National Smile Month primarily to promote good oral health routines, but also to raise awareness of more sugar-free snacking options. They believe that this is integral to maintaining a healthy smile. If you want to read more about Peppersmith mints and gum head to their website www.peppersmith.co.uk.
