Awareness in people for oral care

General

As a Dentist and doing my own clinical practice for five years, I noticed people are not aware about their oral health properly, they take it very lightly as thinking there are 32 teeth if one lost nothing harm.

But they don’t understand poor oral hygiene is linked not just to cavities or gum disease but it leads to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many more.

Oral Health= Overall Health

Don’t Skip Dental Check-Ups!

A Healthy Smile= A Healthy you

Comment some small oral problems you have noticed / experienced that become a bigger problem.

Brushing twice a day. It’s simple way to maintain oral health, but we ignore sometimes due to laziness

A small cavity left untreated turning into a root canal case is a big one I’ve heard this often. It can cause severe pain and even systemic infection.

Well said, Many people underestimate oral care, thinking losing a tooth isn’t a big deal but poor oral hygiene is actually linked to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Around 3.5 billion people globally suffer from oral diseases according to WHO, highlighting major gaps in awareness and access to care.

I recently realized the importance of proper oral care. A YouTube short made me rethink things it said that the regular toothpastes we use every day don’t really do much, and that it’s actually the medicated toothpastes that make a real difference.

This post is a strong reminder that oral health is not just about teeth—it’s about total health. I’ve seen how small issues like bleeding gums or bad breath are often ignored, but they can turn into serious problems like periodontitis or tooth loss. Even a tiny cavity, if untreated, can reach the nerve and cause severe pain or infection. People need to stop thinking one tooth doesn’t matter. Regular check-ups really do make a big difference.
