An independent report by The Economist entitled Time to Take Gum Disease Seriously – The Societal & Economic Impact of Periodontitis, covers the economic and human costs of periodontal disease in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK. This report takes a unique approach in evaluating the health cost benefits of preventing and treating periodontal disease and associated conditions.

These findings can be used to influence policy makers to support prevention of periodontal disease and improve oral health. The report was supported by The European Federation of Periodontology and P&G.
