World Dental Federation Launches Movement for Oral Health

The World Dental Federation (FDI) has launched Generation Smile, a global movement focused on making oral health a worldwide priority. The initiative aims to unite people across all ages, backgrounds, and cultures around the shared purpose of recognizing oral health as essential for overall health and well-being.

"Generation Smile is not defined by the year you were born. It unites people of every age, background and culture around one shared purpose: making oral health a priority because it is essential to health and well-being – for everyone, everywhere," the FDI stated.

The movement seeks to raise awareness about the critical role of oral health and encourage proactive daily care. FDI expects the initiative to foster collaboration among various stakeholders to improve global oral health outcomes.

This effort is positioned to address disparities in oral health access and education, promoting a holistic approach to health where oral care is integrated into general healthcare practices.
