Gum Disease Awareness Month: The Importance of Gum Health
February is Gum Disease Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to one of the most common yet overlooked health issues worldwide. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, affects nearly half of all adults 30 years old and above, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Despite the prevalence of gum disease, many still underestimate the importance of maintaining healthy gums and the significant impact it has on overall well-being.
