The World Oral Health Day (WOHD) for the year 2024 was celebrated with a plethora of activities all around Saudi Arabia. These WOHD activities were planned and organized with a primary aim of improving the public's oral health literacy and enhancing their motivation to manage chronic oral conditions and diseases.
The Saudi Dental Society carried out large-scale oral health campaigns to popularize WOHD activity under the able guidance and leadership of Dr. Ziyad Allahem. The Saudi Dental Society conceptualized and organized a massive Oral health awareness drive hosting more than 40 major events in all the important governates of Saudi Arabia.
The activities were divided into a wide range of interesting events related to oral health awareness among the wide expanse of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
