Many countries around the world including Nigeria marks the world oral health day in the 20th of every month..the team of this year oral health day is "SAY AAHHH"...do you know the mouth is one of the most important part of the body because we chew with it,articulate speech with it,apart from these common uses the mouth especially the teeth and jaws gives the face its natural structure and form and needless to say a good smile and beautiful set of dentition is found attractive and can heal the soul...
Common diseases if the mouth includes gingivitis (inflammed gums),dental caries (holes in the teeth),halitosis (bad breathe) and various oral cancers and all this have various multifactorial factors that predisposes an individual.

nice thread
but I really hate my dentist

It's super nice that people actually make this as a celebration. I have been low key vary of the dentist since I was a little girl. It was scary when I was a kid because it was loud and hurt and people were always kind of telling me that it's no big deal. It took me years to understand that my fear was real and that it's okay to be scared. I also know that my personal perception of this event was always tinted by the reception I got at the clinic. The dentist kind of brushed me aside. It felt like I wasn't important enough for him. When I moved to my current home and changed my dentist (I am a proud member of the Artistic Smiles clinic) and I feel a ton of difference. People are a lot friendlier here, they treat me as a person and not just as a potential money bag. The dentist is nice, works really well and fairly fast. I am really happy with him
