The 2025 IFDH Global Oral Health Summit

One World, One Smile:
Elevating Oral Health - By All, For All

Virtual, Saturday, November 8, 2025

The IFDH Global Oral Health Summit series brings together influential worldwide leaders and stakeholders to discuss how Dental Hygienists can contribute to reduce the burden of oral health diseases and its economic global impact.

The IFDH 2025 Global Oral Health Summit (GOHS) series brings together influential worldwide leaders and stakeholders to discuss how dental hygienists, dental therapists, oral therapists, and oral health therapists can reduce the burden of oral diseases and their global economic impact. As part of the larger healthcare community, these team members play crucial roles in promoting overall well-being.

The WHO has taken a bold and decisive step to bring oral health to the forefront. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, has succinctly stated, “There is no health without oral health.”

The 2025 GOHS emphasizes that point by focusing on topics that put into perspective the importance of oral health, including:

  • Reducing Inequities
  • Patient-centered Care
  • Interprofessional Collaboration
  • Focus on Prevention, and
  • The Future of the Oral Healthcare Workforce

This 4-hour virtual program provides an overview of the recent WHO Oral Health Meeting in Bangkok. It will be followed by renowned speakers who will emphasize ways to improve oral health for all.

This 5th Global Oral Health Summit will continue the excellent content and calls to action presented in our previous events in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024!
