The work now is translating this declaration into national sustained action, so oral health is no longer treated as optional or separate to the rest of our health and wellbeing.

That’s where prevention, policy and community-led solutions really matter.

7/8

As Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from the @who.int said, this is about changing the trajectory, not just managing the fallout.

This global commitment reinforces a simple truth:

🦷 oral health is essential health
🧠 prevention is the smartest investment
⚖️ equity must be designed in from the start

6/8

The declaration also sets measurable 2030 targets and calls for whole-of-government and whole-of-society action, backed by sustainable funding. This creates a real opportunity for countries like Australia to build prevention-first systems that actually reduce avoidable disease and costs.

5/8

Prevention needs to happen by:

👉 embedding oral health into primary care, community services and public health programs
👉 regulating harmful products and marketing
👉 investing in prevention, education and early support
👉 meeting people where they already are, not just where services exist

4/8

The declaration signals a global shift away from siloed, treatment-focused systems and towards prevention, integration and equity. It recognises that NCDs (including oral diseases) are preventable, interconnected, and disproportionately affect people facing social and economic disadvantage.

3/8

This matters because oral health isn’t just a clinical issue, it’s shaped by the same forces driving other chronic diseases like unhealthy food environments, tobacco and vapes, alcohol products, stress and poor mental health, where people live and whether they can access care.
