Sensodyne launches Know Your Dental Age campaign to boost oral health awareness
Nationwide push blends tech, trains and experts to spark early care habits
NEW DELHI: Sensodyne has rolled out its ‘Know Your Dental Age’ campaign across India, aiming to bring oral health out of the shadows and into everyday wellness conversations.
Backed by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and the Indian Dental Association, the initiative introduces a quick, QR-based Dental Age Test designed to help people understand whether their teeth are ageing faster than expected and what they can do about it.
The move comes as India faces a stark oral health gap, with a large majority experiencing dental issues but often delaying treatment until problems escalate. By nudging people towards early action, the campaign hopes to shift behaviour from reactive fixes to preventive care.
The initiative was launched in Delhi by Anupriya Patel, alongside Ashok Dhoble and Kedar Lele, highlighting a growing push for public and private sectors to work hand in hand on healthcare awareness.
“Oral health is fundamental to overall well being, yet awareness and timely action remain limited,” said Ministry of Health & Family Welfare minister of state for health & family welfare and chemicals & fertilisers Anupriya Patel. “Initiatives like this bring preventive care closer to people and encourage early intervention, which is key to building a healthier India.”
To take the message beyond clinics and into daily life, the campaign is also travelling on select Vande Bharat Express routes, offering screenings and information to an estimated 10 lakh passengers.
Haleon chief executive officer india and president india subcontinent Kedar Lele said the effort builds on years of work to make oral care more accessible and actionable. “When people have the right information at the right time, they are far more likely to act. That is where meaningful change begins,” he noted.
The campaign is being amplified through a 360-degree outreach spanning digital, print, influencers and on-ground activations, with support from dental experts and consumer platforms to widen its reach.
With a mix of technology, mobility and collaboration, Sensodyne’s latest push makes a simple point clear: knowing your dental age today could help you smile better tomorrow.

Angel One Q4 profit surges 83 per cent to Rs 320cr
year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
