Dental

Dentistry is one of the niche medical specialities that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various conditions and disorders related to teeth, gums, and jaws. Dental health plays a vital role in your overall well-being. Poor oral health often indicates underlying health problems and their impact on the entire body.

Why Is Dental Health Important?

Neatly aligned and sparkling teeth are more than a beautiful smile. Brushing at least twice a day, regular flossing, and dental appointments prevent the reduction of bacteria in the mouth, thus preventing bad breath and periodontal gum disease, which can lead to bone loss and tooth loss. Several studies have established a direct link between poor oral health and systemic diseases, which can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment.
