As part of World Oral Health Day, celebrated on March 20, Pierre Fabre Oral Care has joined the Portuguese League Against Cancer (LPCC) to promote an awareness campaign, through which early detection measures for oral cancer will be implemented.
The group responsible for the brands Elgydium, Eludril and Arthrodont will support the implementation of five days of the show in different parts of the country. The event will start on the 17th in Grandola, followed by Vila Real de Santo António (March 9), Santarem (March 16), Lisbon (March 20) and ending In Cascais (March 30).
Promoting World Oral Health Day is “increasingly important”, because “90% of the world’s population will suffer from oral diseases at some point in their lives. Teeth are a precious asset that we must learn to protect and preserve throughout our lives.”
