We proudly celebrated World Oral Health Day by organizing “The Happy Mouth Nexus – Oral Health Month 2026,” an impactful initiative led by our Faculty of Dental Medicine. Through this meaningful project, we extended our engagement beyond the classroom, actively contributing to raising awareness about oral health within the wider community. By bringing together knowledge, practice, and social responsibility, we once again demonstrated our strong commitment to promoting health education and supporting the well-being of individuals across different age groups.

As part of the program, we carried out a series of interactive and age-adapted outreach activities, where our students engaged directly with participants through informative sessions and hands-on demonstrations. These activities focused on proper oral hygiene practices, the prevention of dental diseases, and the importance of maintaining healthy daily habits. Implemented through our Project and Research Office and coordinated by Radmila Dimovska, the initiative provided our students with valuable opportunities to apply their academic knowledge in real-life contexts, while also strengthening their communication skills and professional competencies.

In collaboration with Elmex, we further enriched the program with additional educational sessions that highlighted the importance of preventive dentistry, fluoride-based care, and evidence-based oral health practices. This collaboration strengthened the connection between academic learning and practical application, reinforcing our role as a university that prioritizes innovation, community engagement, and student development. Through initiatives like this, we continue to promote awareness, encourage prevention, and contribute to building a healthier and more informed society.
