Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top global health threats, yet many people don’t fully recognize the harm it is causing. A new Canada-wide colour campaign (#GoBlueForAMR) was launched during World AMR Awareness Week (November 18–24) to increase the visibility of AMR and share knowledge on how to tackle this growing threat. “As dental professionals, we have a crucial role to play in reducing antimicrobial resistance and stopping the emergence of drug-resistant infections,” says Dr. Heather Carr, CDA president. “World AMR Awareness Week is a reminder that together, we can help safeguard public health today and for future generations.” Dentists frequently remind patients about the potential risks of overuse and the importance of completing full, prescribed courses of antibiotics. “Not all bugs need drugs. By working together, we can develop effective strategies to prevent and control antimicrobial resistance,” says Dr. Aaron Burry, CDA CEO. “AMR is a risk to all of us and we all have a role to play in preventing it.” For more details on the Go Blue for AMR campaign see: AntimicrobialAwareness.ca Dentists Can Help in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance MINIMIZE SP I E NR UF SORATION.
