In time for World Oral Health Day on Sunday, the FDI and other professionals from the dental industry are getting together through a special online event to discuss the role of innovation and technology in shaping the future of oral health.
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is celebrated every year, all around the world, on March 20. In the spirit of the 2022 WOHD campaign, “Be Proud of Your Mouth,” the FDI World Dental Federation will convene prominent dental industry partners in a webinar to on March 17 discuss the role of innovation and technology in shaping the future of oral health.
The 2022 WOHD campaign emphasizes that an unhealthy mouth can severely impact every aspect of life such as emotional, social, mental and overall physical well-being. Therefore, concerted action across stakeholder groups — general public, governments and policymakers, and the dental industry — is needed to address oral diseases, which affect around 3.5 billion people globally.
Today, new technologies are revolutionizing dentistry, easing the work of dental professionals, improving patient experiences, addressing access to care to underserved and vulnerable populations, and leading the transformation towards sustainable practices. The webinar, involving official WOHD industry partners, will highlight the contributions that key innovation leaders are making to improve the oral health and quality of life of people globally.
Prof. Paulo Melo, WOHD Task Team chair, said: “On 20 March every year, we ask the world to unite to help reduce the global burden of oral diseases, which affect individuals, health systems and economies everywhere. Good oral health is essential to general health, wellbeing and quality of life. Industry partners have a key role to play in providing the necessary products, technologies and equipment to facilitate prevention, early detection and treatment of oral diseases.”
