World Oral Health Day
Every March 20th, people across the globe celebrate World Oral Health Day. It’s an awareness day that encourages everyone around the world to keep not just their teeth healthy but to maintain the health of their mouth as well.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons that 3/20 is the perfect day to celebrate having a healthy mouth.
