STRENGTHENING WOMEN'S ORAL & GENERAL HEALTH
THROUGH PROJECTS BY DENTAL HYGIENISTS
"The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description."
Social changes and awareness in the past few years have uncovered a host of vulnerabilities among the female population. We have been exposed to the delicate, frail, and desperate women among us. Some of these women endure both physical and psychological damage. Their oral health is affected from lack of self-care or minimal access to professional care.

Empowering women by creating awareness of oral health is a vital and worthwhile mission. A healthy smile generates higher self-esteem and confidence. And since women are caregivers to both their offspring and aging parents, they influence their entire families. Helping women to achieve better oral health will hopefully have a domino effect for a brighter, healthier future for all.
The IFDH is encouraging its members to develop projects that empower women through better oral health.
