Philips is Championing a Healthy Smile For Every Singaporean This World Oral Health Day

The World Health Organization has also adopted an important resolution which underpins that maintaining a healthy mouth can reduce your chances of developing wider health issues. Globally, around 3.5 billion people suffer from preventable oral diseases – such as tooth decay and gum disease³. As with many major health issues, prevention and early detection of oral disease is key to stem any negative repercussions on the rest of your body.

“The mouth is often regarded as the mirror of one’s health. At Philips, we always keep the health of our consumers first and consider their needs in our innovations. Our advanced personalised solutions are developed to support you in maintaining a set of healthy teeth and gums not just for cosmetic reasons, but also because a healthy mouth now may mean less health-related issues for you in the future,” said Mr Muir Keir, Business Leader, Personal Health, Philips ASEAN Pacific.

As one ages, the state of our mouth also changes. Our teeth will shift and lose bone mass, and gums will recede. Tooth loss can also occur due to long-term dental neglect and as our teeth enamel wears down. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, and periodontal disease are among some of the most common dental diseases seen in Singapore. While dental caries affects people of all ages, gum diseases are a common issue as we age.

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is a lifelong commitment that starts with good personal oral hygiene habits. Philips partners with dental professional Dr Leroy Kiang to share tips on preventing your teeth and gums from aging faster than your body, and how you can maintain a state of optimal oral hygiene.

Paired together with the Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser, experience a complete clean in just 60 seconds⁴ as it reinvents traditional flossing with QuadStream technology. The unique x-shaped Quad Stream tip separates flow into four water jets, covering more area between teeth and gum line for a faster, deeper clean without the hassle of string floss.
