Happy International Dentists day🙂🦷

Take charge of your oral health 🦷🙂

The WHO Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) estimated that, globally, an estimated 2 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth.  

Dental caries results when plaque forms on the surface of a tooth and converts the free sugars (all sugars added to foods by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups and fruit juices) contained in foods and drinks into acids that destroy the tooth over time. A continued high intake of free sugars, inadequate exposure to fluoride and a lack of removal of plaque by toothbrushing can lead to caries, pain and sometimes tooth loss and infection.

Adequate exposure to fluoride is an essential factor in the prevention of dental caries. Twice-daily tooth brushing with fluoride-containing toothpaste (1000 to 1500 ppm) is encouraged.🪥🦷
