The Canadian Dental Association defines oral health as the "state of the oral and related tissues and structures that contribute positively to physical, mental and social well-being and to the enjoyment of life's possibilities, by allowing the individual to speak, eat and socialize unhindered by pain, discomfort or embarrassment." It's important to take good care of your mouth, teeth, and gums. Poor oral health has been linked to systemic diseases, respiratory diseases, and oral cancer. Regular care (daily brushing and flossing) and visits to your dentist are included in a healthy oral care regimen.
