September is Dental Implant Awareness Month, sponsored by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). This year's theme -- "Healthy Mouth, Healthy You!" -- focuses on the health benefits of dental implants.
To kick off the month, the AAID said in a statement that the organization has launched a new public awareness campaign including an article and video to bring visibility to the long-term health consequences of missing teeth and the reasons why implants are a preferred replacement option.
