Full Description
Oral health is the state of the mouth, teeth and orofacial structures that enable individuals to perform essential oral functions. Oral healthcare education is the responsibility of oral healthcare providers to equip individuals with the essential knowledge and skills to manage their oral health, prevent oral diseases, and make confident, informed decisions about their oral health. The book "Oral Health and Disease: What You Should Know" fulfils this need by promoting oral health literacy. One hundred forty-two concise, accessible chapters address the history and scope of dentistry, the global burden of oral disease, the form and function of dental and oral structures, orofacial pain, diseases and disorders of the teeth and gums, dental trauma, diseases of the jawbones, oral soft tissues, and salivary glands, including tumours, the connection between oral disease and systemic illness, diagnostic methods and tools employed in dental practice, principles of dental treatment procedures, and pharmacological management of oral diseases. Home oral care recommendations, helpful fact sheets, and oral self-care strategies are also included. Clear and simple language in a Q&A format is employed throughout, avoiding medical jargon and technical terms. Over 200 clinical images illustrate oral manifestations of various diseases and disorders affecting the teeth and mouth. Developed by over 75 international dental experts, including practising dentists, the evidence-based information in this book targets the general public and students pursuing careers in oral healthcare. This innovative resource book is designed to serve as a comprehensive manual for community members, dental practitioners, and medical practitioners. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of homes, dental surgeries, medical practices, dental schools, and secondary school libraries.
