World Oral Health Day: Because a Healthy Mouth Reflects a Healthy Mind

On March 20th, 2025, in celebration of World Oral Health Day, we carried out a health promotion campaign at the Centro de Reabilitação Jundiaí, with the participation of Dentistry students from Faculdade Anhanguera de Jundiaí. The main goal was to raise awareness about oral health and encourage preventive care among a socially vulnerable population, composed of patients assisted by Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS). All educational activities were designed and conducted by the students themselves, who created accessible and humanized teaching materials. In addition, the university's dental clinic remained open to provide support and guidance to the community. The initiative directly benefited over 100 people — including patients, their families, and children — strengthening the social role of academic training and offering students a meaningful, hands-on experience in health education and integrated care.
