World Oral Health Day – March 20

World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is celebrated on 20 March every year since its declaration by FDI (World Dental Federation) in the year 2007. The day was first officially celebrated in 2013 to raise global awareness on the prevention and control of oral disease.

It is an international day to promote good oral health for everyone and empower individuals to maintain a healthy mouth at all ages. We all suffer from certain types of oral conditions which can be avoided with increased awareness, support, and funding for prevention, detection, and treatment programs, which is what World Oral Health Day is all about.

A healthy mouth and a healthy body go hand in hand. Healthy Teeth related not only to your health but also to your beauty and personality. Unhealthy and dirty teeth are a spot in your beautiful personality. Food cannot be chewed properly with painful, unhealthy teeth. Due to this, digestive power is destroyed, and other stomach-related diseases are born. Unhealthy teeth also cause a bad odor in the mouth.

Scientific research has revealed the fact that the strength of human teeth is directly related to their food. The teeth of humans in early times were very strong because they used hard and strong things for food. Nowadays, the nature of food has become soft and full of ‘starch’. Which is the main reason for causing ‘cavity’ in the teeth.

“Be Proud Of Your Mouth” is announced as the World Oral Health Day theme for the next three years (2021-2023).

Oral care tips

For Oral Care, pay proper attention to teeth cleaning. By brushing your teeth twice daily, we can help reduce the risk of diseases like dental decay and gum disease – both of which can result in tooth loss.
There are always millions of bacteria in the mouth who want to stick to a hard surface in the mouth and try to form a big group. This process goes on continuously throughout the year. These hard surfaces in the mouth are our teeth where these bacteria go and stick and make an invisible surface called “Teeth Plaque” around our teeth. In fact, the main purpose of cleaning teeth is to brush or floss. This plaque has to be cleaned with help. Remember that teeth and gum infections affect our entire system. Which can affect your heart, brain, and blood vessels. Therefore, the cleaning of these Germs and Bacteria is essential for Teeth to care regularly.
For oral care (Teeth Care), ‘oil pulling‘ therapy is a better option, for this, you can use any edible oil such as mustard, sunflower, sesame oil, or coconut oil in the morning and rinse in the mouth on an empty stomach for 20 minutes. This causes bacteria to die, and teeth and gums also become stronger. Oil pulling in addition to offering several oral health benefits has also beneficial effects on overall health. It is an excellent Ayurvedic technique of about three hundred years old.
Brush regularly two times for teeth cleaning. Clean the teeth in such a way that the grain particles trapped in the teeth are removed. Which are especially responsible for bad breath.
