Only two weeks to go to World Oral Health Day 2023
No matter your age – everyone should value and take care of their oral health. Get involved with WOHD23 to Be Proud of Your Mouth for a lifetime of smiles.
Join FDI’s Mouth Proud Challenge and celebrate World Oral Health Day (WOHD) 2023, which is only a couple of weeks away! The challenge aims to inspire individuals, communities, and organizations around the world to celebrate their oral health and promote positive attitudes towards oral care.
Participants are encouraged to post a video or photo of themselves using the campaign Instagram and Facebook filters or online polaroid tool, to show why their mouth is important to them.
The Mouth Proud Challenge is part of FDI's efforts to raise awareness about the importance of oral health and encourage people to take action to maintain a healthy mouth. Join us in this global initiative to celebrate and promote oral health!

Remember to get mapped
As we enter the final year of the "Be Proud of Your Mouth" campaign, let's strive to make an even greater impact than before. In 2022, we saw over 500 oral health activities take place in 197 countries. We look forward to seeing what you have planned for 2023 and rely on your efforts to promote oral health worldwide.
Whether you will organize an oral hygiene webinar, a social media campaign, carry out dental check-ups, use the frames or organize educational activities in schools, it’s time to share your activity and get mapped. Tell us and others what you are planning to do and then, please feedback on how it went. Outstanding efforts will be recognized through the World Oral Health Day Awards.
