World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is celebrated every year on 20 March. It is an international day to celebrate the benefits of a healthy mouth and to promote worldwide awareness of the issues around oral health and the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene to everyone old and young.
It is a day for people to have fun – a day that should be full of activities that make us laugh, sing and smile!
This year Dental Health Services Victoria are asking Victorians to 'make a face' to celebrate World Oral Health Day:
Use your creativity to 'make a face' that shows off your healthy food knowledge to your friends, your family and the world.
You could win a prize for yourself or your class!
