Today marks World Oral Health Day 2026, centred around the theme “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Life.”
Dr. Nasser Alqahtani, Consultant Orthodontist and Professor of Orthodontics at King Saud University in Riyadh, shares his perspective on the lifelong connection between oral health and overall wellbeing.
Oral health is not only about maintaining teeth and gums; it also influences how individuals feel about themselves, how they interact socially, and how confidently they engage in daily life. A healthy smile supports both physical health and self-esteem.
He emphasises that consistent preventive care and regular dental check-ups remain fundamental to long-term wellbeing.
On this World Oral Health Day, the message remains clear: prioritising oral health is an essential step toward a healthier, more confident life.
