World Oral Health Day
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) | 20 March 2025
A Happy Mouth... is a Happy Mind!
This year's World Oral Health Day focused on the powerful connection between oral health and mental well-being. A healthy mouth doesn’t just help you eat, speak, and smile, it plays a crucial role in how you feel mentally and emotionally. Oral health issues can lead to stress, anxiety, and lower self-esteem, while maintaining good oral care can boost confidence and contribute to a more positive mindset.
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the World Oral Health Day campaign.
