This Dental Health Week (3–9 August), young adults are being encouraged to make their smile a priority.

Whether you're starting work, heading to university or moving out of home, it's easy for dental check-ups to slip down the list.

But looking after your oral health now can help prevent more serious problems in the future.

At the same time, GV Health continues to promote healthy oral health habits from an early age through the Smiles 4 Miles program, helping children and families build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
