National Fresh Breath Day is a great opportunity for your dental offices to promote oral hygiene and engage with patients in a fun and educational way. 

Are you ready to celebrate? 

We have a few ideas that may help. But first, let’s talk about when this dental holiday is happening.

When is National Fresh Breath Day?

National Fresh Breath Day is celebrated every year on August 6th.

How to Celebrate

Here are five ideas to make National Fresh Breath Day memorable for your staff and patients.

1. Share tips with patients

Share some fresh breath tips, like the following: 

1. Brush after meals
2. Replace your toothbrush every three months 
3. Floss daily 
4. Gargle and rinse with mouthwash 
5. Stay hydrated
6. Schedule your check-up and hygiene appointment!

Other tips may include oral hygiene practices, knowledge about maintaining oral health, and the importance of regular dental check-ups.

2. Offer fun prizes or goodie bags

Offer fun prizes like free dental hygiene kits, gift cards, or a free dental cleaning session to celebrate National Fresh Breath Day.

Or prepare goodie bags filled with fresh breath essentials such as travel-sized mouthwash, mints, gum, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Include educational materials on maintaining fresh breath and coupons for future dental services.

Smart Tip: Personalize the prizes and goodie bags with your dental office's branding to remind patients of your practice.

3. Host a demonstration

Organize a short, informative demonstration on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of tongue cleaning, or the role of diet in maintaining fresh breath. 

If you’re ambitious, do all three!

Many offices record this demonstration and post it to social media.

Smart Tip: Record your demonstration so patients may access iit online for future reference.

4. Post to social media

Leverage the power of social media to spread awareness about National Fresh Breath Day. 

Share tips, fun facts, and patient testimonials on your social media platforms. 

Consider using the following hashtags:

Smart Tip: Use a video when posting to social media. Videos get more engagement.

5. Host an office party

This one's great for pediatric offices. Promote National Fresh Breath Day in a school by presenting an educational piece to students on oral health practices.
