Most oral diseases are preventable, but only if people are protected from the risk factors that drive them.

By creating environments that make healthy choices easier and reduce exposure to to***co, alcohol, free sugars, and other harmful products, we can help communities prevent oral diseases before they start.

Strong policies mean stronger protection towards a healthier future. ✨

Oral diseases like periodontal (gum) disease, dental caries (tooth decay), and oral cancer needlessly affect millions across the Western Pacific.

To help prevent these conditions, it’s important for people to recognize early warning signs such as:

-Bleeding gums
-Persistent bad breath
-Toothaches
-Loose teeth
-Trouble swallowing
-Patches in the mouth that don’t heal.

Everyone deserves a healthy smile – supported by access to timely and affordable oral health care.

Policymakers play a key role in making prevention and early detection accessible to all. 😁✨
