World Oral Health Day 2026: A Happy Mouth is a Happy life – Insights and How to Get InvolvedEvery year on 20 March, the world comes together for World Oral Health Day (WOHD) to shine a spotlight on the vital role oral health plays in overall well-being. At its core, WOHD is a powerful reminder that everyone deserves access to quality oral healthcare and the knowledge to protect their smile.
Caring for our mouths is key to living a healthier, happier life. Poor oral health can lead to pain, discomfort, and a loss of confidence, and growing evidence continues to highlight how closely oral health is linked to general health. By taking action together, we can help improve lives around the world.
The WOHD 2026 campaign, “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Life,” marks the closing chapter of a three-year campaign cycle launched in 2024. It shines a spotlight on the importance of caring for your mouth at every stage of life — from birth through later years — because a happy mouth supports a healthy, happy life.
Join this webinar for an in-depth look at the campaign’s key messages, creative approach, and newly developed resources, and discover how to use the campaign to make a positive impact in dental practices and communities.
