World Oral Health Day 2024: Toothie invites you to #BrushandBoogie
As World Oral Health Day approaches, join Toothie in gearing up for 20 March and participate in #BrushandBoogie to inspire everyone to prioritize their oral health for good overall health and well-being.
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) 2024, centered around the theme “A HAPPY MOUTH IS …A Happy Body,” is approaching in a few weeks. As we move forward, Toothie, FDI's cherished oral health mascot and the ambassador of the 2024 campaign, is now in the limelight on social media with the launch of his Instagram channel: @ToothieBeaver.
He has recently launched the #BrushandBoogie challenge inviting encouraging everyone to participate and gear up for #WorldOralHealthDay.
How to #BrushandBoogie
What if our day started and ended with a song we love and a few dance moves that make us feel happy? A happy mouth can be a happy start and end of every single day if we boogie while we brush.
Join Toothie in sparking a powerful movement to empower people in taking charge of their oral health, with just a few steps:
- Grab your toothbrush and toothpaste (make sure it’s fluoride toothpaste).
- Turn on your favourite tune.
- Then brush and boogie like no-one is watching.
Clean all the sides and surfaces of your teeth to the rhythm of the beat. Before you know it, your 2 minutes brushing time will be over and you won’t want to stop!
Social media filters to Brush and Boogie
Add the star-studded Toothie effect available on Instagram, and create a fun Reel or post with a video or photo of you brushing your teeth while you boogie to your favourite tune. Then challenge your friends to join the #BrushandBoogie movement too. Be inspired by the Brush and Boogie fact sheet or learn more at worldoralhealthday.org/brushandboogie
