Dental Health Week targets young adults

Dental Health Week is under way. This year’s campaign is aimed at young adults aged 18 to 30 years. The Australian Dental Association has produced the Young Person’s Oral Survival Guide which addresses commonplace issues such as binge drinking and smoking, and also the more taboo subjects of drug use and oral sex.

The Chair of the Oral Health Committee, Dr Peter Alldritt, said: “Whatever you put in your mouth or do with your mouth, do so responsibly, in moderation, and with the appropriate precautions. Your mouth will thank you in the long run".
