World Oral Health Day: Emphasizing the Importance of Oral Hygiene
Led by the FDI World Dental Federation, World Oral Health Day focuses on the connection between oral health and overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.
Tips for Maintaining Optimal Oral Health:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to prevent gum disease.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups.
- Limit intake of sugary and acidic foods.
- Address any oral health concerns promptly.
The Link Between Oral Health and Overall Health
