The World Oral Health Day-2023 will be observed in the country today (March 20) as elsewhere in the globe. This year’s the theme of World Oral Health Day is “Be Proud of Your Mouth.” 

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued a message on the eve of the day. She said that Bangladesh has made a remarkable success in the health sector, which has been lauded globally.

“We have taken various programmes for development of Dental Surgeons... in line with oral healthcare facilities of the developed countries, Bangladesh has modernized oral health education to provide better treatment to the people.”

Each year on March 20, World Oral Health Day is commemorated. 

It emphasizes the importance of excellent oral health, raises knowledge concerning oral illnesses, and encourages proper dental hygiene.

Dental health is just as crucial as overall wellness. It aids in the preservation of a healthier mouth, gums, and teeth.

On the occasion of the day, Pepsodent and Sensitive Expert by Pepsodent organised a month-long dental camp in 30 districts including Dhaka. The free dental camp began on February 11 and it will end on March 20.
