dental health

Mouth care status

Dental health refers to the overall condition of the teeth, gums, and mouth, encompassing freedom from decay, disease, and other problems that affect oral function.

Good dental health involves regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings.

The term often appears in discussions of healthcare access and preventive care: Many insurance plans don't adequately cover dental health.

Poor dental health can affect overall physical health, as oral infections may spread to other parts of the body.
