FDI World Dental Federation launches Generation Smile movement

The FDI World Dental Federation has launched 'Generation Smile', a global oral health movement designed to serve as a new platform for World Oral Health Day (WOHD). The initiative was officially unveiled during the FDI World Dental Congress in Prague.

Under the inaugural theme 'Join Generation Smile', the campaign aims to promote oral health as an essential component of overall well-being. The movement emphasizes that oral diseases are linked to various systemic health conditions and seeks to encourage individual actions, such as regular dental visits and improved hygiene habits, to create a global impact.

FDI President Dr. Nikolai Sharkov noted that approximately 3.7 billion people worldwide are affected by oral diseases, many of whom lack access to necessary care. The campaign utilizes a visual identity inspired by street art to transcend cultural borders and invites global participation through digital engagement.
