Take control of your oral health

Stages of gum disease

Did you know 9 out of 10 Malaysians have signs of gum disease? Left untreated, gum disease can result in tooth loss. Not only will it affect speech clarity and reduce enjoyment of crunchy, chewy and crispy food, it can also impact your confidence and make you smile and laugh less often.

The 2010 National Oral Health Survey of Adults indicated that 9 out of 10 Malaysian adults suffer from gum disease. A more recent study, Project Katsu, conducted in 2017 by Lion Corporation on 450 Malaysian adults, also showed that 80% of respondents had at least one visible sign and symptom of gum disease - most commonly bleeding and swollen gums - but only 1% realise that they have gum disease.
