20 March Dünya Ağız Sağlığı Günü

Yayın Tarihi | 20 March 2025, Thursday

Improving oral health, preventing dental diseases and losses, increasing the awareness of individuals, families, communities, and governments, 20 March was accepted as “World Oral Health Day” by the World Dental Federation (FDI) in 1993. For our society to be more sensitive about oral and dental health, we, as Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Faculty of Dentistry and Oral and Dental Health Hospital; in line with our responsibility, not only to the patients who come to our Hospital but also to a wide range of our people such as schools, elderly care homes, individuals with disabilities, we provide information on oral and dental care, explaining methods of protection from tooth decay and gum diseases, we try to implement our University's motto “From Universal Knowledge to Social Contribution” as much as possible. Our aim; with the slogan “Health Begins in the Mouth” is to spread a healthy mouth without decay and gum diseases and consequently a healthy body to the entire society. On this occasion, we celebrate the ‘20 March World Oral Health Day’ of all our colleagues working towards the protection and improvement of our people's oral-dental health, and we wish for happy smiles.
