Celebrating World Down Syndrome Day 2025: The Importance of Oral Health
Today, on World Down Syndrome Day 2024, we celebrate the unique abilities and contributions of people with Down syndrome while advocating for their rights and well-being. This day serves as a reminder of both the challenges and strengths they experience in daily life.
Oral health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, yet people with Down syndrome often face dental challenges such as delayed tooth eruption, missing teeth, crowding, and a higher risk of gum disease. Without proper care, these issues can impact their health and quality of life.
On this important day, we highlight the need for accessible dental care, early intervention, and education on oral hygiene to support people with Down syndrome. By raising awareness and advocating for inclusive dental practices, we can help ensure better oral health outcomes, contributing to their overall health and happiness.
