FDI World Dental Federation releases powerful video message unifying voices in celebration of World Oral Health Day |
|
Geneva, 20 March, 2024 (APA/OTS) - In celebration of World Oral Health Day, FDI World Dental Federation debuts an impactful video message uniting voices from diverse sectors, advocating for collective efforts to improve oral health worldwide. - - "A Happy Mouth is a Happy Body," says FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) this World Oral Health Day (WOHD). This powerful message resonates with leaders from governments, organizations representing other chronic health conditions, and the private sector who have united to lend their voice to a new video released today. The collaborative initiative underscores the urgent need for collective action to ensure universal access to oral health, which is crucial for securing the overall health and well-being of people worldwide. |

"We say that a happy mouth is essential for a happy body because
the two are intricately connected and mutually influence each other.
Understanding this connection is vital to improve the quality of
life for countless people around the world," explains FDI President
Dr Greg Chadwick.
In fact, good oral health is critical to breathing, eating,
speaking, and smiling. When oral disease is left untreated, it can
severely impact a person's health and social prospects. Moreover,
maintaining good oral health may contribute to preventing other
conditions such as heart and respiratory diseases, cancer, and
diabetes.
Regrettably, oral diseases currently rank as the most prevalent
health conditions globally, affecting nearly 3.5 billion people,
including those suffering from tooth decay, severe gum disease,
tooth loss, and oral cancer, according to estimates from the World
Health Organization (WHO).
Raising awareness through WOHD about the importance of avoiding
risk factors such as foods high in sugars, regular brushing with a
fluoride toothpaste and dental check-ups, is crucial to empowering
people with good oral health habits. However, with the burden of
oral diseases remaining unacceptably high, "It's clear that no
single entity can effectively tackle oral health issues alone,"
emphasizes Dr Anna Lella, WOHD Working Group Chair. "This is why FDI
has made it its mission to catalyze partnerships, networks,
policies, and programmes to advance oral health as an essential
component of overall health and well-being," she continues.
By working with organizations like NCD Alliance, World Heart
Federation, International Diabetes Federation, and the International
Pharmaceutical Federation, among others, FDI advocates for
collaboration across health conditions and professions, to safeguard
people's health. By mobilizing its members and partnering with
industry leaders like WOHD Partners Denstply Sirona, 3M Health Care,
Smile Train, and Haleon, FDI strives to shape the future of oral
health by promoting prevention, early detection, and treatment of
oral diseases. Public, private partnerships as well as sustained
political commitment by governments, such as Ireland, are key to
achieving equitable access to quality oral healthcare and general
health and well-being for all.
"Effective collaboration across sectors and stakeholders is
imperative to achieve universal coverage for oral health. We must
work together to eliminate disparities so that by 2030, oral health
becomes a universally accessible right," stresses Dr Chadwick.
This video serves as a call to action for collaborative efforts in
oral health: Together, we can improve lives worldwide. Share it
widely this World Oral Health Day.
