World Oral Health Day 2026: Explore the new resources and start planning your campaign
This World Oral Health Day, explore a wide range of resources to help you celebrate and join Toothie for the finale of the “A Happy Mouth” campaign — marking another step on the path to a healthier, happier life.
As the new year begins, we invite you to start preparing for World Oral Health Day 2026.
This year marks the final chapter of our three-year campaign theme, A Happy Mouth Is…, offering a meaningful moment to reflect on progress and look ahead to what’s next. With the tagline “A Happy Mouth Is… A Happy Life,” WOHD 2026 will spotlight oral health as the foundation of lifelong well-being — from a baby’s first teeth to maintaining a healthy smile in older age.
In 2026, the creative approach will once again feature Toothie in the final instalment of this movie-style campaign. This time, a brand-new song will drive the message forward, teasing audiences with an exciting “sequel” moment.
The campaign will highlight how good oral health supports living life to the fullest, for everyone, everywhere, regardless of age, income, or where they live.
