Wrigley Oral Healthcare in Action (OHA) is giving all dental students the chance to win £1,000 for creating a patient information resource to promote a better daily oral routine.

The Student Award, which is open to dental and hygiene students throughout the country, gives students the opportunity to put their knowledge of oral care into practice helping their patient's daily oral healthcare routine.

The aim of the resource is to communicate a better oral routine for patients aged 18-35 years. The key oral health messages need to be included, such as brushing, regular check ups and chewing sugar free gum.

The winning student will receive a cash prize of £1,000 and will be invited to attend the British Dental Association Conference in May 2007 where they will be awarded with a certificate.

Students can ask their tutor for an entry form or request one via email at wrigleyoha@ideaslondon.com. Students will be judged on creativity, technical accuracy and appeal to the target age group.
