It works at national and international level through its own activities and those of its member dental associations. It is in official relations with the World Health Organization and is a member of the World Health Professions Alliance, and a partner of the NCD Alliance.

FDI's work on NCDs

FDI is the leading global body committed to oral health and develops educational programmes, awareness campaigns, congresses and initiatives aimed at progressing the field of dentistry. It also advocates for oral health to be prioritised in global health and development agendas and pushes for their integration in chronic disease prevention programmes.

To accelerate action on oral health and NCDs, FDI works closely with our members and network of established partners. In particular, FDI prioritises collaboration with other health areas so that together we can accomplish common goals by tackling cross-cutting issues (such as co-morbidities and common risk factors) to improve oral health and reduce the NCD burden.
