Springdale, AR, March 17, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Community Dentistry, located in Springdale, Ark., advocates for oral health in Northwest Arkansas and will recognize World Oral Health Day on March 20.

World Oral Health Day is an international day to celebrate the benefits of a healthy mouth and to promote worldwide awareness of the issues around oral health and the importance of oral hygiene, according to the FDI World Dental Federation.

Community Dentistry is a comprehensive dental practice offering services in preventive, cosmetic, restorative, surgical dentistry, periodontal disease treatment and more. The highly trained professionals at Community Dentistry are committed to excellence and are passionate about continued education and providing the most up-to-date dental care.

World Oral Health Day is important because 90 percent of the world’s population will suffer from oral diseases in their lifetime, according to FDI World Dental Federation.

About one in five adults aged 65 and older have untreated tooth decay and 27 percent of adults aged 20 to 64 have untreated tooth decay, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Many cases of oral disease can be avoided with increased governmental, health association and society support and funding for prevention, detection and treatment programs, according to FDI World Dental Federation.
