World Cavity-Free Future Day 2019: Choose water for better oral health

World Cavity-Free Future Day

(WCFFD), an initiative launched in 2016 by the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF) to address the need for greater global awareness of dental caries, is only a month away.

To be marked on Monday 14 October, WCFFD asks people everywhere to join the fight against tooth decay by choosing water over sugary drinks for a day (and, of course, well beyond).

Worldwide, this year’s event has a particular focus on children under two, using #BabiesAreSweetEnough but the Australia/New Zealand A Cavity Free Future Committee is highlighting the theme #ChooseWater for all ages.

In support of WCFFD, the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF) have partnered with the ADA and Colgate to launch a #WCFFDay dental awareness campaign aimed at preventing cavities in adults and children.

How can ADA members participate?
