What is World Oral Health Day?
People around the world are encouraged to look after their oral health every year on March 20th, World Oral Health Day.
Oral diseases affect nearly 4 billion people around the world, according to the FDI World Dental Association. The most common dental health problem is untreated tooth decay. Gum disease, oral cancer, and tooth loss are all common dental health problems worldwide. About 30% of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have no natural teeth.
Poor oral health can have a negative effect on a person's physical appearance. This contributes to anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence.. Poor oral hygiene also contributes to issues in school, at work, and in families.
Poor oral hygiene, as well as physical appearance, can lead to a variety of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, dementia, chronic infections, diabetes, pregnancy complications, and kidney disease.
Good oral hygiene can make any of these oral health problems significantly reduced or eliminated. The good news is that with good oral hygiene, many of these oral health problems can be greatly reduced or eliminated. This includes brushing the teeth twice a day, daily flossing, and routine dental examinations. People in underdeveloped countries, on the other hand, are having trouble maintaining good oral hygiene due to a lack of dental supplies and access to dentists.
