Do I have gum disease?
There is a good chance that you have gum disease. A large scale oral health survey of Singaporean adults conducted by the Health Promotion Board in 20031 showed that 85% of the adults examined had signs of mild to moderately severe forms of gum disease. The Singapore Burden of Disease Study 20102 estimates that 51% of Singapore citizens spend 25 to 44 years of their entire lives with gum disease and 39% of Singapore citizens spend 45 to 65 years of their lives with gum disease!
