What is Dental Conditions ?

Tooth decay, also known as dental caries or cavities, is a breakdown of teeth due to acids made by bacteria. The cavities may be a number of different colors from yellow to black. Symptoms may include pain and difficulty with eating.

Oral health is a window to overall health. Teeth and gums (gingiva) are important pillars of the oral cavity and hence it is important to maintain their health. Two main dental diseases, caries and gum diseases, begin in childhood and are preventable by early diagnosis.
