World Oral Health Day 20 March 2015

The Australian Dental Association Inc. is encouraging all Australians to take care of their oral health as part of World Oral Health Day 2015.

This year's theme is “Smile for life!” and has a double meaning: ‘lifelong smile’ and ‘celebrating life’.

Dr Peter Alldritt, Chair of the Oral Health Committee, said, “Smiling has many social and health benefits, from boosting your immune system, lowering your blood pressure, to making you appear more charismatic.

"Good dental habits only require a little bit of time and effort, but will provide lifelong benefits. They are definitely a worthwhile investment.”
