WOHD26: Together, let’s create a record-breaking chain of happy moments!
As World Oral Health Day (WOHD) 2026 draws closer, the digital activation provides an easy way to get involved and help amplify the campaign message. By sharing happy moments online and using available resources, supporters can bring this year’s theme — “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Life” — to life.
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is just a few weeks away. To continue building momentum towards 20 March, we launched our digital activation on 13 February, bringing the campaign to life across digital platforms worldwide.
Under this year’s theme — “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Life” — we are celebrating the importance of caring for our mouths at every age, because oral health is closely connected to overall health, well-being, and quality of life.

Toothie, our campaign star, is inviting supporters worldwide to help create a record-breaking chain of happy moments, powered by healthy smiles.
