Dental health is all about preventing complications such as tooth decay or cavities, gum diseases and maintaining the overall health of your mouth. Oral diseases can also affect the rest of the body. Hence, failing to maintain good oral hygiene can cause other health problems too. One part of doing this is visiting your dentist for regular health check-ups.
If this is neglected, chances are you’ll develop oral diseases or conditions, which will prove to be a bigger issue than the failure of visiting the dentist time and again. Needless to say, it will be a very costly affair.
Dental Science is a branch in healthcare dealing with the recognition, diagnosis, and cure of diseases/disorders/conditions/abnormalities of the oral cavity, oral mucosa, and/or of related and adjacent tissues and structures situated in the nearby area. Contrary to popular belief that dentists only deal with the teeth, dental science is a vast field covering lymphatic, muscular, vascular, nervous, and anatomical structures. A regular dental team may consist of a dentist, dental auxiliaries, dental hygienists, dental technicians, dental therapists, and dental assistants. Aster Hospital has a top dental clinic in Dubai equipped with one of the best dental teams.
