Saturday 6 August is National Fresh Breath Day.
Bad breath can be a social faux pas that many people don’t even realise they have.
Aside from that garlic and onion lunch, bad breath can be a sign of poor oral hygiene or even an underlying medical condition such as gum disease.
How does this affect your business?
Two thirds (62%) of employers in a British Dental Association poll felt applicants with visibly decayed, missing teeth or bad breath would be at a disadvantage in securing a role and their promotion prospects.
By giving employees the tools and knowledge needed to be proactive with their oral health, you can make sure they’re physically and mentally fit from tip to toe, which makes for a far more engaged and proactive team.
We’ve put together some tools and resources for you to share with your employees that help bring awareness to the importance of maintain good oral hygiene.
