Welcome to Gum Health Day 2021 - Professor Mark Ide

Professor Mark Ide introduces this year's Gum Health Day campaign.
Gum Health Day is an international awareness day held every year on 12 May. Its aim is to increase public awareness of the seriousness of gum disease, the health problems associated with it, and the importance of keeping our gums strong and healthy. Spearheaded by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), their slogan for Gum Health Day 2021 is ‘Gum diseases are preventable’.
Please feel free to download this year's resources and share them in your practice waiting rooms and on your social media platforms. Let's join together in raising public awareness of gum disease and encouraging people to visit their dentist, hygienist or therapist.
