Mount Lawley, Western Australia — March 9, 2026 — Dentique Dental Spa is joining the global observance of World Oral Health Day 2026 on March 20, highlighting the critical role of gum health and preventive dental care. The initiative, endorsed by the FDI World Dental Federation, encourages communities worldwide to prioritise oral hygiene and understand its impact on overall wellbeing.
Dr. Camelia Furlan, Principal Dentist at Dentique Dental Spa, said the practice aims to educate patients on maintaining strong, healthy gums as the foundation of a confident smile. “World Oral Health Day is a vital reminder that oral health extends far beyond appearance,” Dr. Furlan said. “Healthy gums are essential for long-term dental stability and overall health. Early intervention and education can help patients avoid serious issues while preserving their confidence.”
To mark the occasion, Dentique Dental Spa is offering Free Periodontal Consultations and special promotions on selected services to encourage proactive dental care.
Preventive Care as a Cornerstone
Routine dental check-ups remain a key element of preventive care. Dental professionals assess teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues, detecting early signs of problems before they escalate. Preventive measures not only reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease but also support long-term oral function and comfort.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects a large portion of adults and often develops gradually without obvious symptoms. Early indicators include swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession. Timely evaluation and treatment can prevent severe complications such as bone loss and tooth loss.
Research increasingly shows a connection between oral health and overall systemic wellbeing. Studies link periodontal disease with conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, highlighting that maintaining healthy gums contributes to overall health.
Dentique Dental Spa continues its commitment to education, prevention, and personalised care, helping the Mount Lawley community maintain healthy smiles and long-term wellness.
