The term “dental” refers to anything related to the care, treatment, and health of the teeth, gums, and overall oral cavity. Dental care encompasses a wide range of practices, including preventive care like regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, as well as treatments for conditions like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. Dentistry is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral health issues, often through procedures such as fillings, crowns, root canals, and orthodontics. Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for overall health, as poor oral health can contribute to other systemic conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.
