Poor oral health affects nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide with far-reaching consequences: an unhealthy mouth can cause significant pain and suffering, and lead to an impaired quality of life. Under its three-year “Be Proud of Your Mouthâ€� campaign theme, we hope to motivate people to value and take care of their mouths and understand that in doing so, they also help protect their happiness and well-being. Because the goal of a happy life unites us all.

‘’Everyone can take personal action this World Oral Health Day to help start a new trend for the sake of happiness and well-being’’ says ÌÇÐÄTV¹ÙÍø President, Prof. Ihsane Ben Yahya. ‘’Let’s come together on a global scale to raise awareness, improve education and spur personal and collective action on the importance of oral health for all.’’
