Before we get to the idea of dental health, we should first know the definition of dental health ? What do we mean, when we say dental health?
The first thing we should know about dental health, is that dental health related to almost all aspects of human health, also the functioning of the mouth. Except for the ability of making us to eat, teeth and gum gingiva also have impacts on how we speak, how we laugh. And decayed tooth, gingivitis, tooth loss and halitosis are all the dental problems may occur to our teeth.
Decayed tooth or tooth decay, also known as dental carries, is the most common tooth diseases for Shanghai citizens. The main reason of this disease is exposure to cariogenic foods, such as the candies.

It goes beyond question that the health of our teeth is linked to the health of the well-being in a lot of ways. If we want to have a good health, we should use teeth and gum gingiva to chew and swallow things. Apart from that, the bad dental health may also have impact on the way we speech and may also harm our self-esteem. Also in order to treat the dental diseases, both children and grown-ups should spend their time and money, which is quite a burden.
