阅读理解National Smile Month is the largest and longest-running oral (口腔的) health campaign (运动) in the UK. National Smile Month will be sharing positive messages and encouraging others to develop and have a healthy mouth between May 13 and June 13, 2024.
The British are known for their bad teeth because they have too many sweet foods and drinks. It seems that most of them don't often show their feelings. They neither smile nor cry. But this is not true. The British like to smile as much as anyone else. They just don't want to show their bad teeth.
There are three key messages in helping people develop and have a healthy mouth. They are:
■ Brush your teeth at night and at least once a day.
■ Cut down on how much sweet food and drink you have, and how often you have them.
■ Visit your dentist regularly, as often as they ask you to do.
With the help of these three messages, people can realize the importance of good teeth and be confident enough to open their mouths to smile. National Smile Month isn't just about education and stressing the importance of a healthy mouth. The key to the success of the campaign is that we have lots of fun doing it!
A smile might be a small body language, yet it can make a great difference to our state of mind. You can support National Smile Month in so many ways. Hold events to raise awareness (意识) of oral health, or simply post something on social media. By taking part in National Smile Month, you can help to create a healthier and happier world.
