Kenvue Philippines and the Department of Health Unveil Chapter 4: Unite in Davao to Champion Oral health Through Ngiting 70:20 Program
In a remarkable demonstration of public-private
collaboration, Kenvue, a global leader in health and wellness productions, has
partnered with the Department of Health (DOH) to launch the fourth chapter of
its groundbreaking oral health campaign: “Oral Health Initiative: Kenvue
Supports DOH’s Ngiting 70:20 Program.” Held at the Seda Abreeza Hotel in Davao, 5:00 PM last September 24, 2025, the event united health professionals, educators, and community
leaders in a shared mission: to elevate oral health as a national priority and
empower Filipinos to embrace healthier habits to include fluoride mouthwash
in their daily routine.
Dr. Manuel V. Valeesteros, Chief of the Oral Health & Nutrition
Care Division of DOH Philippines, emphasized the importance of fluoride
mouthrinses, stating, “With the recommendation of the WHO Model List of
Essential Medicines 2025, we encourage all Filipinos to integrate fluoride-based
mouthwash into their daily oral hygiene practices”.
Inadequate oral health practices and limited awareness of
essential habits, such as the use of mouthwash, are major contributors to this
crisis. Kenvue Philippines is dedicated to addressing these challenges in
partnership with the DOH, promoting effective oral health practices that support
the Ngiting 70:20 program. This initiative emphasizes the significance of
incorporating essential oils and fluoride-based mouthwash into daily routines,
as studies have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing plaque, gingivitis,
and gingival bleeding.
