Abstract Introduction: Periodontal disease, a prevalent oral health condition, is characterized by chronic inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Research has revealed a complex interrelationship between periodontal disease and systemic health, suggesting that oral health can significantly impact overall well-being. Understanding the awareness levels of this interrelationship among the general population is crucial for promoting comprehensive healthcare approaches.
Aim: The aim of this survey is to assess the awareness and knowledge levels of individuals regarding the interplay between periodontal disease and systemic health.

Results: The general public possessed a considerable level of awareness regarding the association between periodontal disease and overall systemic health.
