Recently, you can hear advertisements about
Systema toothpaste and its new products on the radio.
Before receiving this new product, my dentist has
introduced it to me. After using it, I found that the product is very good and
can protect my gums.
Do you know there are among the 94 percent of
Malaysian adults affected with gum disease based on data from the National Oral
Health Survey of Adults 2010.
The main cause of gum disease is plaque, a
soft sticky film containing billions of bacteria.
Preventive oral health measures such as early detection and treatment of gum disease can change the oral disease continuum, a means to address the cumulative public health burden.
Systema, the gum health expert from Japan is working with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), and the Malaysian Dental Association (MDA) on a Corporate Social Responsibility campaign to help the public Gumbatte Towards Healthy Gums and Teeth, continuing and increasing its collaborative efforts of previous years.
The campaign aims to educate Malaysians and continue to uplift their oral care practices, working towards better gum health for all by reaching more than 2 million people with fact-based and research-supported oral health information and free dental check-up to gradually reduce gum disease among adults by identifying and preventing oral health problems like gum disease before they become more serious.

Dr. Chong Zhen Feng, Honorary General Secretary, Malaysian Dental Association (MDA)
The Malaysian Dental Association, Honorary General Secretary Dr Chong Zhen Feng shared that since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the general public putting off routine dental check-ups, dental professionals have noticed the decrease in patients’ attendance. This will inadvertently delay any prompt management and may even lead to worsening of oral diseases.
He said that the members of the Malaysian Dental Association will be providing free dental check-up in support of the campaign, and it is recommended that everyone visit their dentist at least twice a year.
Dentists say that the minimum time we should spend brushing our teeth is 2 minutes twice a day, and also recommended that everyone should visit the dentist at least twice a year.
In additional, if we use a good toothpaste and
toothbrush with the right brushing method, it can help prevent any gum disease.
Hope the above tips are helpful to you, and thank you for reading (^_^)
