Better Smile Foundation Launches the Essential Everyday Oral Health Handbook to Promote Preventive Care
Oral health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, yet millions of people around the world still lack access to essential knowledge and preventive care. At Better Smile Foundation, we believe that awareness and education are the most powerful tools in the fight against oral diseases. That’s why we’re excited to announce the publication of our Essential Everyday Oral Health Handbook, a comprehensive resource designed to empower individuals with the information they need to maintain a healthy smile for life.
This guide provides evidence-based recommendations on choosing the right toothbrush, proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary habits that promote oral health, and the importance of regular dental check-ups. Whether you are a parent looking to instill good habits in your children, a teacher aiming to educate students, or simply someone who wants to improve their daily oral care routine, this guide offers accessible, practical advice to help you take charge of your oral health. Developed by Konstantinos Tsoukatos, Ilias Visakis, and Dimitris Papakyriakopoulos, and carefully reviewed under the scientific oversight of Professors Dr. William Papaioannou and Dr. Christos Rachiotis, this guide reflects our commitment to scientific accuracy, practical application, and equitable access to oral health education.
Why This Guide Matters
Prevention is the key to better health. Studies show that most oral diseases, including cavities and gum disease, can be prevented with proper daily hygiene and regular check-ups.
Oral health is directly linked to overall health. Poor dental care has been associated with systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, making oral hygiene more critical than ever.
Access to reliable information should not be a privilege. This guide is designed to bridge the knowledge gap and ensure that everyone, regardless of background, has access to the tools needed for proper oral care.
At Better Smile Foundation, we envision a world where preventive oral care is a universal priority. By equipping individuals with the right knowledge, we take one step closer to a future where oral health disparities are reduced, and everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a healthier life.
The Essential Everyday Oral Health Handbook is now available online. We encourage you to read it, share it with your friends and family, and join us in advocating for a healthier future.
