World Oral Health Day 2023 – Business toolkit

On the 20 March, World Oral Health Day is observed around the world. Here’s why it matters for your business.

This year’s theme is about caring for your mouth at every stage of life

World Oral Health Day is a chance to highlight the importance of good oral health and its impact on overall health and wellbeing. Because no matter what age you are, a healthy mouth is always important.
