Colgate Oral Health Month will host a consumer road show, which will visit major retailers at selected venues throughout September. Oral care advice will be on hand from dental hygienists and therapists.
Over 90% of Irish dental practices are participating in the initiative. Each practice will receive a pack containing education and promotional materials, patient product samples and motivational stickers.
