In 2021 Colgate will help, inspire and educate 1.65 million children through Colgate’s professional and schools oral health education programmes.
By providing the tools needed to motivate behaviour change, we can get children excited about maintaining their oral health and making it a routine part of their day.
Dental practice programme 2021
Colgate will send Bright Smiles Bright Futures packs to over 10,000 UK dental practices. These will help you to support parents in maintaining their children’s oral health.
The packs will provide engaging activities and product samples including Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection to over 1.1 million children.
We know that as a dental professional, you are key to helping give Britain’s children the best start possible.
Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures around the world
Globally, many children do not have access to basic dental care. They lack the education needed to achieve a healthy smile.
Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures (BSBF) reaches children through free dental screenings and oral health education. Working with governments, schools and communities, Colgate has to date reached more than 1 billion children and their families across 80 countries.
Schools programme 2021
In addition to the dental practice packs, and as part of the wider UK Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures programme, Colgate is also distributing oral health education packs to teachers of 450,000 five to seven year-old children across the UK.
