America as well as societies from across the world joining in.
Europe For that reason, from 2019 the May 12
awareness day will be known simply as Gum
Health Day. This year the slogan is “Healthy
gums, beautiful smile” and the aim is to
raise public awareness of the importance of
periodontal health to aesthetics, self-esteem,
and self-confidence as well as to overall health.
The EFP has prepared a substantial “toolkit”
for its affiliated members, providing written,
graphic, and video material for them to use,
translate, and adapt.
“The tradition of Gum Health Day is an
important initiative of the EFP to promote
periodontal health worldwide and our national
societies are enthusiastic to contribute to its
success,” said Lior Shapira, co-ordinator of Gum
Health Day 2019.

“The success of the new

depend on whether we are
able to instruct all general

students on how to implement
this classification in the daily
