As <strong>2024</strong> rounds the corner into spring,<br />
this season of dentistry blooms with an<br />
inspiring array of oral health activities,<br />
programmes, and campaigns as dental<br />
professionals from all parts of the<br />
globe celebrate World Oral Health Day<br />
(WOHD).<br />
In this spirit of raising global awareness<br />
on the importance of oral health, <strong>Dental</strong><br />
<strong>Asia</strong> speaks with different stakeholders<br />
who are actively driving better oral<br />
health outcomes in their respective<br />
communities.<br />
TikTok personality Rohit Roy recounts<br />
the struggles of overcoming his<br />
addiction to fizzy drinks and highlights<br />
the power of social influence in a<br />
digital age (p.12). In the Singaporean<br />
neighbourhood of Kembangan-Chai<br />
Chee, Q & M <strong>Dental</strong> Group is piloting<br />
a dental clinic staffed by volunteer<br />
dentists and funded by donations, where<br />
under underprivileged residents can<br />
receive basic dental care for free (p.18).<br />
Global partners of WOHD, Smile Train and<br />
Dentsply Sirona, detail the synergy and<br />
relationship between private enterprises<br />
and charity organisations as the partners<br />
collaborate in a targeted mission of<br />
providing comprehensive cleft care<br />
(p.26). FDI president Dr Greg Chadwick<br />
shares his vision for the federation and<br />
how it strives to advance oral health<br />
outcomes for all the associations and<br />
organisations it works with (p.15).<br />
As each individual partakes in WOHD<br />
and beyond, it calls to mind the role<br />
and influence that every party has in<br />
the collective effort to advance oral<br />
health. Regardless of the scale, paths,<br />
or methods taken to get there, while the<br />
spotlight shines on oral health on 20<br />
Mar, let us remain united in the roads<br />
that lead to a brighter smile for all.<br />
