Today is Gum Health Day 2026 — a global initiative led by the European Federation of Periodontology raising awareness of the important connection between gum health and overall wellbeing.
Healthy gums are about far more than just your smile, with research linking gum disease to systemic health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and more. Prevention and early detection play an important role in lifelong health.
This year’s theme, “Empowering Lives,” highlights the value of education, prevention, and evidence-based care.
We are proud to support the important work of the European Federation of Periodontology
