The World Oral Health Day Awards
FDI relies on the power of local and national campaigns to activate WOHD globally. Empowered by a common goal to reduce the burden of oral diseases, the oral health community comes together year after year to organize free dental check-ups, school activities, educational lectures, awareness walks, flash mobs, and more.
For FDI members and student dental associations, the WOHD Award prize includes travel, accommodation, and attendance at the FDI World Dental Congress (48 September 2019 in San Francisco, USA), an awards ceremony during the WOHD launch session at the Congress, and WOHD merchandise to use in future campaigns. There is also an award open to non-member associations and the general public, so let us know how you celebrated too, so that your efforts can be recognized.
