World Oral Health Day: The Link Between Dental Health and Overall Wellbeing

This World Oral Health Day (20th March 2025), sonic toothbrush brand, Ordo, aims to continue their mission to empower and educate Australians on how to brush their teeth correctly – reinforcing the notion that proper teeth brushing is pivotal to both improving dental health and in turn, other areas of health. With its innovative technology and commitment to oral health excellence, Ordo is redefining the dental care experience for Australians nationwide.

Statistics from the most recent Oral Health Tracker (updated 2024) show that:

• 1 in 3 Aussie kids have already experienced tooth decay before they reach school age

• Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in childhood (more so than Asthma)

• Only 53% of Australian adults brush their teeth twice daily

• Almost 50% of Australian adults consume too much free sugar

Dentist and Ordo Spokesperson, Dr Bethany Fisher, sees firsthand the devastating impact tooth decay has on both children and adults – but emphasises that with the right know-how, tooth decay is preventable.

"This year's World Oral Health Day theme ‘a happy mouth is a happy mind’ reminds us that the health of our teeth can impact our overall wellbeing. We all want a smile that makes us feel confident, and the best part is, a few simple habits are all we need to maintain a healthy smile we are proud to show the world."

Designed to provide superior cleaning efficiency at home, Ordo Sonic Toothbrushes have been developed by a team of dental experts and engineers, utilising cutting-edge sonic technology.

Ordo toothbrushes deliver up to 40,000 pulses per minute, effectively removing plaque and enhancing gum health with every use.

"Our mission has always been to make high-quality oral care accessible to everyone,” says Barty Walsh, Co Founder of Ordo. “By addressing the common issue of improper brushing routines, we want to show Australians the correct way to brush, floss, and use mouthwash.”

Ordo Sonic Toothbrushes boast a sleek and ergonomic design, featuring a two-minute timer and quadpacer to ensure optimal brushing time for each quadrant of the mouth. With the Sonic+ having four brushing modes - clean, sensitive, massage and white - Ordo offers a personalised dental care experience tailored to individual preferences and sensitivities.

"We believe that everyone deserves access to advanced oral care solutions that deliver real results," adds Walsh. "With Ordo Sonic Toothbrushes, Australians can affordably elevate their oral hygiene routine and enjoy the confidence that comes with a radiant smile."
