Chicago, Sept. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dental implants help over 3 million U.S. residents live life to the fullest again
CHICAGO, Sept. 1, 2021 — September is Dental Implant Awareness Month, sponsored by The American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). The theme for this year, “Eat, laugh, live again!” focuses on the many ways dental implants rejuvenate lives and bring back the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, and laugh again.
"Dental Implant Awareness Month is a great opportunity to raise awareness about how dental implants inspire newfound life," explains AAID President, Duke Heller, DDS, FAAID, DABOI/ID. “Beyond restoring a beautiful smile, implants restore a person’s ability to live life to the fullest.”
To kick off Dental Implant Awareness Month, AAID launched dentalimplantsinfo.org, a microsite that focuses on educating people during this month about the benefits of dental implants, how health is impacted by missing teeth, and how to find an experienced and trained dentist. Additionally, people can test their knowledge about dental implants in a new quiz called “Dental Implants: Do You Know The Facts?”.
“There are several misconceptions around dental implants,” explains Vincent Vella, DDS, FAAID. “We wanted to develop an engaging way for people to understand the facts about dental implants so they can make healthy, informed decisions.”
Dental implants provide a healthy tooth replacement option for adults of all ages, whether you were born without a tooth or have had teeth removed due to injury, infection, or decay.
