Every year on March 20th, the world comes together to celebrate World Oral Health Day, a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing oral diseases. At Evans Therapeutics Limited, we are committed to promoting healthier lives, and this year, we reaffirm our dedication to supporting individuals and families in achieving optimal oral health.
Why Oral Health Matters
Oral health is more than just having a bright smile—it is a critical component of overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene has been linked to several serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and pregnancy complications. The mouth serves as a gateway to the body, and neglecting oral health can lead to systemic diseases that go beyond cavities and gum infections.
The Burden of Oral Diseases
According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
- Over 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, with untreated tooth decay being the most common health condition globally.
- In Africa, over 50% of children and 80% of adults experience oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
- Poor access to dental care and lack of awareness continue to be major challenges in countries like Nigeria, where millions suffer from preventable oral diseases.
Daily Oral Care: Prevention is Key
Maintaining good oral health requires consistent and effective oral hygiene practices, including:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque and bacteria.
- Flossing daily to clean areas between teeth that brushing may miss.
- Limiting sugary foods and drinks that contribute to tooth decay.
- Regular dental check-ups to detect issues early and prevent complications.
At Evans Therapeutics Limited, we understand the role of quality oral care products in maintaining a healthy mouth. That’s why we continue to provide trusted healthcare solutions that support individuals and families in their journey toward better oral hygiene.
