Dental public health

Good dental or oral care is important to sustaining healthy teeth, gums and tongue. Oral problems comprising bad breath, dry mouth, canker or cold sores, TMD, tooth decay, or thrush are all treatable with proper diagnosis and care. Oral health is necessary to general health and well-being at every stage of life. A healthy mouth enables not only nourishment of the physical body, but also improves social interaction and promotes self-esteem and feelings of well-being.
