World Oral Health Day is observed every year on March 20. Its objective is to raise awareness about the importance of oral health and its impact on overall well-being.
This year's theme is "Happy mouth is a happy body."
According to the World Health Organization, globally, oral diseases affect an estimated 3.5 billion people worldwide.
Initially, the Oral Health Day was celebrated on September 12 to coincide with the birthday of FDI founder Dr Charles Godon and it was organised by the FDI World Dental Federation.
