The main goal of the campaign is to raise public awareness of the importance of oral care and hygiene.
This is in addition to highlighting positive behaviors towards the current oral and dental services in the community.
The campaign also seeks to enhance communication between dental services and prevention departments in various medical institutions as well as encourage the public to keep a healthy diet and reduce sugar in food and drinks.
