Dr. Zhang Liwen
The most common dental diseases include dental caries, periodontal disease, and malocclusion. Prolonged neglect of oral hygiene—such as infrequent or inconsistent toothbrushing—can lead to dental problems, potentially causing recurrent tooth pain, gingival swelling, and other symptoms. It is essential to maintain good dental care in daily life to prevent oral diseases. Diet should be well-balanced and nutritionally appropriate; excessive consumption of high-sugar foods should be avoided.
