ORAL HEALTH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF GENERAL HEALTH. HEALTH IS INCOMPLETE IF IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ORAL HEALTH. HENCE IMPROVEMENT IN ORAL HEALTH IS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR GENERAL HEALTH
| Oral health refers to the health of the mouth, which includes the teeth, gums, and supporting tissues. These tissues allow one to speak, smile, sigh, kiss, smell, taste, chew, swallow, and also cry. They also let one show a word of feelings through expressions. Taking good care of these tissues can prevent disease in them and in turn, ones general health. This is important because good oral health is crucial to living a comfortable life. |
