Did you know that 48% of the global population suffers from disabilities related to oral conditions? These problems are serious, but they also are easy to fix, and World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is the perfect time to get them checked out.
—
World Oral Health Day takes place every year on 20th March. WOHD is organized by the FDI World Dental Federation. This organization combines regular dentistry with the goal of achieving good oral health for all patients. These objectives are meant to benefit both children and adults.
The aim of World Oral Health Day communities is to equip and empower people with the knowledge and understanding needed to maintain good oral health. It also strives to give individuals and communities the tools and confidence that they need to help people keep a healthy mouth.
"Oral health is greatly connected to your overall health, so promoting it doesn't just ensure healthier teeth and gums. It ensures a healthier you." says Dr. Caroline Downing, owner and principle dentist at North Shore Smiles.
"Like all other areas of your body, your mouth is filled with generally harmless (and sometimes healthy!) bacteria. However, your mouth is the entryway to both your respiratory and digestive systems. If you don't clean your teeth or have unhealthy gums, bad bacteria may also build up and cause disease in other parts of the body. Studies suggest that some diseases linked to poor oral health may include cardiovascular disease, endocarditis, and pneumonia."
Luckily, understanding how to maintain a healthy mouth can lower your risk of these problems. WOHD is important because it equips people with the tools required to be less vulnerable to serious diseases.
Dr. Downing further states, "As dentists, we strive to equip and empower people to take charge of their oral health every day. That's why we will be continuing our everyday best practices on 20th of March. We also will encourage both existing and new patients to schedule regular checks and cleans. Additionally, we will continue to provide patients with information through Smile Docs® on services that can boost their oral health These services include smile makeovers, Invisalign, and teeth whitening."
