Alcohol Policy Is Key Tool For Oral Health Promotion Amidst Global Oral Health Crisis, New WHO Report Reveals

The new Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) published by the WHO provides data about the burden of oral disease for 194 countries.
The report highlights alcohol use as a major risk factor for oral disease. Therefore the burden of oral diseases can be reduced through public health interventions that address common risk factors, including policy solutions that facilitate the reduction or quitting of alcohol use.
