Taking Charge of Your Oral Health
Good oral health begins with clean teeth. Oral hygiene is important to prevent dental diseases and bad breath. Recent studies have shown that oral infections, especially gum inflammation, have been associated with chronic and systemic conditions such as diabetes, as well as stroke. Join Dr Tay Chong Meng as he discloses common oral diseases and their dental management, as well as tips on preventive oral care.
