Did you know that today is Gum Health Day!
Gum disease affects millions of people worldwide and is linked to serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even Alzheimer’s disease.
Created to raise awareness of the importance of gum health, Gum Health Day reminds us that healthy gums are essential not only for a healthy smile — but for overall wellbeing too.
The good news? Gum disease is often preventable and treatable when detected early.
Signs to look out for:
▪️ Bleeding gums
▪️ Bad breath
▪️ Gum recession
▪️ Loose teeth
▪️ Swollen or red gums
This year’s message is: Gum Health Day: Empowering Lives”
We’ve written a new blog explaining:
✔️ What gum disease is
✔️ Why gum health matters
✔️ The link between gums and general health
