Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Oral Health Day is observed globally on March 20 each year to promote awareness about dental hygiene and preventive care. The initiative, led by the FDI World Dental Federation, emphasises the importance of maintaining good oral health as a key component of overall well-being. The 2026 theme highlights the idea that a healthy mouth contributes to a happy life. Experts stress simple daily habits such as brushing, flossing, and proper night care routines to prevent oral diseases. Good oral hygiene also reduces the risk of infections and supports overall health by preventing bacteria from affecting other parts of the body.
