Happy World Oral Health Day 2026🌟
World Oral Health Day has brought back Toothie the Beaver to raise awareness about the importance for caring for your mouth at every stage of life - from birth through later years.
Every day, we use our mouths in countless ways, and a healthy mouth makes life more enjoyable. It supports our whole body, and makes everyday moments brighter - whether sharing a meal, chatting with a friend or laughing with loved ones.
Remembering to change your toothbrush every 3 months is a crucial step in keeping your oral hygiene to a good standard.
After 3 months, bristles become frayed and less effective at removing plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Overtime bristles accumulate bacteria, fungi and debris which can lead to infections or reintroduce germs into your mouth, especially after illness.
