“Gum diseases are preventable” is Gum Health Day 2021’s slogan to be celebrated worldwide on 14th May 2021.
This year, the British Society of Periodontology’s mission is to raise public awareness about the signs and symptoms of gum disease.
Gum diseases are usually painless and are classed as a silent disease. It is the mission of World Gum Day to raise awareness and place these symptoms more towards the front of our minds.
“Gums are not supposed to bleed; teeth are not supposed to drift without reason. If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth or when you bite on food—an apple, for example—you should organise a visit here at Dental Elements for a periodontal check-up as soon as possible,” Priya Karia, our In-House Gum Expert.
If you have any concerns about your gum health, our hygienist team should be your first port of call. Should you need to seek further advice for gum disease at Dental Elements, you can see Dr Priya Karia, our In-House Gum Expert. Priya can also advise/treat advanced gum disease, address cosmetic concerns due to gum recession and/or drifted teeth, or discuss how to replace teeth if these are lost.
