The British Dental Health Foundation will be changing its name to the Oral Health Foundation from 4 April. The charity believes this will allow it to address the growing demand to deliver support, information and education on oral health around the world. Chief executive Nigel Carter said. ‘Under our new brand our focus and commitment will remain as strong as ever, and our core mission and goals will remain much the same.”
‘Since the charity was formed we have undergone remarkable progression and development as an organisation; this has been particularly evident since the turn of the 21st century,’ Janet Goodwin, president of the Oral Health Foundation, said. ‘In this time we have taken on some challenging and exciting new projects and developed many key partnerships; as well as expanding our work internationally. Due to this, we felt it was time that we had an identity that not only reflected the important work, reach and diversity we have achieved over the last 45 years, but also one which will enable us to continue to move forward, build many more effective partnerships and develop stronger ties between dental and health professionals and the public around the world. Our new name reflects this perfectly and, alongside a reinvigorated focus, we are all really excited about what is ahead of us.’
‘For more than four decades our biggest strength has been providing education and information on oral health to millions of people throughout the United Kingdom, so it only makes sense for us to expand and try deliver this on a global scale,’ Dr Nigel Carter OBE, chief executive of the Oral Health Foundation, said. ‘The translation of our website into nine major world languages now makes our oral health education material available in the native tongue of over 40% of the world’s population and our accredited products can be seen in some 50 countries.”
