National Periodontist Day: Saluting the Gum Warriors
Behind every healthy smile, there is a strong foundation, and behind this strong foundation stands a Periodontist.
This year, National Periodontist Day was observed in India on a massive scale, paying tribute to the specialists who work day and night to ensure gum health and prevent periodontal diseases. In association with the Indian Society of Periodontology (ISP), a nationwide awareness campaign was organized in over 120+dental colleges across the country, benefiting over a lakh patients through screening, treatment, and educational programs.
The campaign was centered on a simple yet effective message that healthy gums are the key to a lifetime of healthy smiles, and Periodontists are the specialists who make this happen.
