Support for dental health campaign

Sunday, October 3rd 2010 09:35

The Rugby-based British Dental Health Foundation is supporting a campaign encouraging us to swap sugary snacks for healthy alternatives.

The Rugby-based British Dental Health Foundation is supporting a campaign encouraging us to swap sugary snacks for healthy alternatives.

The push has been launched by the British Dental Trade Assocaution.

Chief Executive of the Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter, hoped the campaign would have a positive effect on how the public view their diet in relation to their oral and overall health.

Dr Carter said: "The UK in general has developed a very unhealthy food environment, where sweets and sugary foods and drinks have become the norm.

This is making it even harder for us to improve the dietary habits of people, especially children. It is therefore extremely pleasing to see that the BDTA, along with the Government campaign have made pro-active steps to address this."
