March 20th is World Oral Health Day, an FDI World Dental Federation initiative that aims to empower people with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to secure good oral health. This year’s theme is “A Happy Mouth is a Happy Body”.
In this Oasis discussion, CDA President, Dr. Heather Carr, discusses the importance of the link between oral health and overall health, and encourages dentists to get behind this year’s event.
“The connection between oral health and overall health has always been there, but we are becoming much more educated about it.”
Dr. Heather Carr
