World Oral Health Day is celebrated each year on the twentieth of March as a global awareness campaign on oral health. WOHD serves as an opportune moment for oral health professionals to impart the importance of taking action
in the prevention of oral disease and the issues surrounding oral health. It commends the advantages of having a healthy mouth and promotes the significance of oral hygiene.
WOHD’s theme this 2018 is “Say Ahh! Think Mouth, Think Health” which explores the idea to empower the general public in keeping a healthy mouth to help manage health and well-being. Having a sound mind and body can be directly proportional to having a healthy mouth.
Keeping a healthy mouth contributes to your general physical, mental and social well-being. It is important to be aware that there’s a vital connection between your general health and oral health that can help you prevent, detect or treat diseases. “Say Aah!” is often said by dentists when they are examining your mouth. With the observation done with your teeth and gums, dentists will be able to have the information of not just your oral health but of your physical well-being. With this notion, WOHD aims to let the public be more aware of this vital connection so that they’ll have a more proactive role in keeping and engaging in preventive oral care routines.
A large portion of the world’s population is suffering from oral diseases and most of these ailments can be prevented if people are more informed about oral health. Increased association of the government, society and health community can provide detection, prevention and treatment.
Since most oral ailments can share common risk aspects with other diseases, having a mouth examination can help you be informed about your overall health. Common plaque can lead to destructive gum disease which is a risk factor for diabetes, stroke, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer. That is why dental hygienists have an important duty to prevent and detect dental health problems.
Without properly maintaining oral hygiene, your mouth can breed microorganisms and bacterias that may prove to be unwanted and harmful for your teeth and gums. Regular cleansing, flossing and brushing prevent the growth of these bacteria and stop build up. Reducing their numbers in your mouth will prevent them to release harmful toxins that might get into the bloodstream. This can lead to gum disease which can ultimately increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Having a routine checkup and doing preventive care isn’t just the deciding factors in having a healthy mouth. You should also observe your sugar intake and stop cigarette use. Having a healthy diet and eliminating the use of alcohol not just improves your oral health, but your overall body condition as well. Observing these practices will help you avoid risk factors that can lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes or cancer.
Oral health is more than having a nice smile. Bright teeth can improve confidence but having a perfect white smile doesn’t entail a healthy body. To know more about the correlation between oral health and a healthy well-being, read our article about the importance of dental hygiene that can potentially save your life.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.
Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.
For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.
Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.
