Haleon is a global partner of FDI’s (World Dental Federation) World Oral Health Day 2024 for the second year running.1 We are proud to continue working with the FDI to support dental professionals and keep you in the spotlight.
The FDI represents the voice of dental professionals all round the world. We know they share our dedication to better everyday oral health, making them and dental professionals like you, important partners to our work.
Beyond our category-leading oral health brands, we strive to support you with programmes, initiatives and events, all over the globe. Our on-going partnership with the FDI grants us the privilege of supporting some amazing projects which do just that.
- Partially Dentate Patients Project – aims to empower practitioners to understand and support the specific needs of patients who are partially dentate and improve the outcomes for these patients by providing dental healthcare professionals and patients the appropriate tools, and to increase global awareness about the treatment options available
- Toothbrush guidelines – a consensus on toothbrushing recommendations offering practical guidance on individual level preventive strategies
- The Oral Health Observatory – aims to collect standardized oral health data on a global level, evaluates the oral health needs of patients and dental practitioners to optimize service provision and use the data to identify oral health trends and influence policy makers to invest in oral diseases to improve oral health outcomes
These initiatives have supported both dentists and patients together, providing insights and action which can support better oral health worldwide. A happy mouth is a happy patient, after all.
To learn more about these projects and what we have coming up this year, ensure you’re signed-up to Haleon HealthPartner.
