Be #MouthProud: World Oral Health Day 2022 Tips from Main Beach Dental

by | Mar 7, 2022 | World Oral Health Day

Every year on March 20, we celebrate World Oral Health Day to spread awareness of the importance of oral health.

The theme this year sends out a very simple yet powerful message: Be Proud of Your Mouth. Value and take care of it.

In 2022, your Main Beach dentist wants to promote change by focusing on the importance of oral health for overall health since good oral health can help you live a long and healthier life.

And that is something worth taking action for.

7 Key Oral Health Messages for World Oral Health Day

World Oral Health Day 2022 is just a couple of days away.

Everyone can help address oral diseases by sharing these 7 key messages about good oral health at every stage of life.

#1. Look After Oral Health for Overall Health

Just like any other major diseases, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases is important to prevent any negative effects on the rest of your body.

#2. Protect your Mouth while you’re on-the-go

Chewing sugar-free gum is proven beneficial to dental health as it helps neutralise plaque acids.

#3. Learn Good Oral Health Habits for Children

It is important to care for your teeth and mouth because germs can cause toothache, tooth decay and holes in your teeth.

#4. Take Charge of Your Oral Health

Tooth decay is the most common dental health problem in the world, caused by an unhealthy diet high in sugar and exposure to other health risk factors.

#5. Maintain a Balanced, Low-Sugar Diet

Consuming excessive amounts of sugar from drinks, snacks, and processed foods not only causes tooth decay but also contributes to obesity and increases the risk of diabetes.

#6. Practice a Good Hygiene Routine

Oral diseases, such as tooth decay and gum disease, can impact every aspect of life, from relationships and self-confidence through to school, work and the ability to interact with others. Oral diseases are preventable, though, so it’s important to practice a good oral hygiene routine every day.

#7. Visit your Main Beach Dentist Regularly

Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people and are often linked to other serious health issues.

These can often lead to pain, discomfort, social isolation, loss of self-confidence, and lost hours at work or school, too.

Celebrating World Oral Health Day 2022

It’s never too early or too late to start looking after your mouth; your body will thank you.
