• On 20th March 2016, over a million dentists from 200 organisations
based in 130 countries across the world will join together with FDI
World Dental Federation (FDI) to celebrate World Oral Health Day,
turning the global spotlight to the importance of maintaining good

been associated with a number of health conditions such as:
• Heart disease
• Pneumonia
• Lung disease

• “Oral diseases affect 3.9 billion people worldwide, with between 60%
and 90% of children globally suffering from tooth decay. Yet there is a
lack of understanding of the key role that oral health plays in our
overall health; simple steps such as brushing twice daily for two
minutes, needs to be integrated into all our oral care routines.

prevent dental problems, most commonly,
• Dental cavities,
• Gingivitis,
• Periodontal (gum) diseases and bad breath.

20. Tooth brushing
• Tooth brushing is the act of scrubbing teeth with a toothbrush
equipped with toothpaste. Since only two thirds of the
outer tooth can be reached by a toothbrush, interdental cleaning
(with floss or an interdental brush) can usefully accompany tooth
brushing.
