The Commonwealth Dental Association supports World Oral Health Day

2011-09-12T13:23:00.001Z

The CDA is supporting World Oral Health Day 2011 (12 September), which is focusing on non-communicable diseases. The event is coordinated by the International Dental Federation (FDI), of which the CDA is an associate member.
The CDA supports the FDI in calling for a stronger focus on oral diseases in policy making around NCDs ahead of a UN General Assembly Summit on the issue that takes place in New York next week (19 and 20 September 2011). The event will focus on the growing health and economic impacts of NCDs. The FDI, which represents more than a million oral health professionals worldwide, is calling for a clear recognition of oral conditions among the global NCD priorities and a strengthening of the role of dentists and the dental team in preventing them.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the world is seeing a growing epidemic of non-communicable, or chronic, diseases (NCDs), and they are currently one of the leading causes of premature deaths worldwide. World Oral Health Day 2011 is focusing on these conditions because oral diseases and other NCDs share many common risk factors including tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol and over-consumption of sugar.
