People have been urged to brush their teeth regularly to maintain good oral health and to avoid trips to the emergency dentist.
AsiaOne Health reported the importance of maintaining a good oral health routine and noted individuals could benefit from undergoing an oral profile to ensure they are tackling any problems as early as possible.
In order to achieve this, Britons would need to book an appointment with a dental professional and discuss their individual oral health needs.
"If you don’t take preventive measures and seek treatment only when necessary, then the one-off treatments for advanced conditions might seem pricey," commented Dr Chung Kong Mun, president of the Society of Periodontology.
US-based local paper the Courier Journal recently reported that Dr Ted Raybould, a Lexington dentist and University of Kentucky professor, said it is imperative that children are taking to the dentist early in life in order to allay any fears they have at an early age.
