Tooth Loss & Oral Infections – Can affect chewing, speaking, and self-confidence.
Connection to Other Diseases – Poor oral health is linked to serious conditions like stroke and pregnancy complications.
🔹 Did you know? Over 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases worldwide! Maintaining good oral hygiene can prevent many of these issues.

Each year on April 7th, World Health Day calls us to reflect on how we can build a healthier world. This year’s theme, “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures,” reminds us that the journey to lifelong wellness starts even before birth—and that investing in early care is one of the most powerful things we can do for humanity.
