World Dentist Day is celebrated on October 3rd
World Dentist Day is celebrated on October 3rd . The date was established by the International Dental Federation (FDI) to celebrate the importance of dentistry on a global level and raise awareness about oral health care. The choice of October 3rd is due to the founding, in 1840, of the first dental school in the world, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, in the United States. This was an important milestone in the history of dentistry, as it contributed to the professionalization and dissemination of dental techniques in various regions of the world. The date serves to recognize the work of dentists around the world and reinforce the importance of oral health for the general well-being of people.
