WOHD Exposition - Happy Mouth Happy Body; Theme: Practising dentistry beyond walls

The exhibition aligns with the vision of the World Health Organization's World Health Assembly 2021 and 2023 resolutions, emphasizing the importance of a robust dental public health system. We'll explore the rationale for utilizing:

• Education: We'll showcase educational programs that empower communities to prioritize oral health, fostering preventive practices.The exhibition delves into the idea of transcending traditional limitations in dentistry. We explore concepts like:
• Breaking( Moving beyond) the Walls of Practice: We'll showcase models that extend dental care beyond the confines of traditional clinics, reaching underserved communities and fostering inclusive solutions.
• Financial Accessibility: We'll address strategies to overcome financial limitations for both patients and dental professionals, ensuring equitable access to oral healthcare.

The exposition had two sessions; the seminar session and a free dental checkup/scaling and polishing session for participants.
