World Oral Health Day
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) | 20 March 2025
A Happy Mouth...................... is a Happy Mind!
This World Oral Health Day, we’re focusing on the powerful connection between oral health and mental well-being.
A healthy mouth doesn’t just help you eat, speak, and smile, it plays a crucial role in how you feel mentally and emotionally.
Oral health issues can lead to stress, anxiety, and lower self-esteem, while maintaining good oral care can boost confidence and contribute to a more positive mindset.
Join FDI and NZDA in celebrating the impact oral health has on your overall happiness and well-being.
Because when your mouth is happy, so is your mind!
This year we have three different competitions to get involved with, see below:
Colouring Competition

A healthy mouth doesn’t just help you smile big, it makes your whole mind feel happy and confident too!
