Globally, nearly 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases, with untreated tooth decay being the most common condition. Yet, oral health often takes a back seat to other aspects of well-being. Many do not realise that poor hygiene can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.
World Oral Health Day, observed on 20 March each year, serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. The 2025 campaign encourages greater awareness and action, making small daily habits a priority for good oral health.
This blog explores the significance of oral health, debunks common myths, and shares practical tips to maintain a healthy smile.
