History of the world oral health day has a long tradition
In 2007, the FDI World Dental Federation introduced World Oral Health Day, which was the first international dental association. The day was originally celebrated on September 12th, which is the birthday of FDI founder Dr. Charles Godon's birthdate. The date was changed to March 20th in 2013 to avoid interfering with the FDI World Dental Congress in September. The date reflects the utmost importance of the number 20 when it comes to oral health. To be healthy, senior citizens should have 20 natural teeth at the end of their life. In addition,, children should have 20 baby teeth.
