Raising Oral Health Awareness

It’s not often that your teeth get paid much attention, but this week is a great week for your teeth. It’s also a great week for your smile. Why? March 20 is World Oral Health Day (WOHD), which aims to highlight both the benefits of a healthy mouth and raise the importance of exceptional oral hygiene.

Around 90 per cent of the world’s population will suffer from some form of oral disease in their lifetime (read: cavities, decay and even oral cancer), so it’s vital we acknowledge our mouths and the state of our teeth.

If you’re long overdue for a dental check-up, now is the time to make that appointment. For those of you who fancy yourself as maintaining superior oral hygiene, you can support WOHD by mentioning the significance of proper mouth care to your friends and loved ones. Easy as, huh?

Oh, and feel free to smile, sing or laugh too – anything that makes great use of your healthy mouth is an exceptional way to celebrate this important day for oral health awareness.

I would smile with white teeth. Got whiten strips on crazysales and they work. With beautiful teeth I smile more than ever.

I know I should start flossing, but I just hate it so much :( It's uncomfortable and I invariably accidentally make one of my gums bleed.

diabla 22 Mar 2014 10:56 AM
