Manama: Good oral health keeps diseases away. A regular visit to dentist can do more than keep your smile attractive, Oral health is closely linked to the general health of an individual.  A healthy and hygienic oral cavity with healthy and carious free teeth is essential for the general health status of an individual. Socially, educationally and economically improved countries shows an increase in Dental health awareness and dental clinics.  The increase in dental clinics and cosmetic centres that correct the deformities of teeth and jaw bones are taken as a sign of progress and as an index to the overall health, social and economic status of a country or state. There is a proverb which says ‘If tooth is okay half is ok’ and that explains everything.

In olden days and even now, many of the dental treatment procedures are found to be very expensive. So many a patients prefer only extractions, when the tooth becomes painful   and also   they seldom replace it.  Nowadays, thanks to the development in education, financial status, social awareness as well as the dazzling technological improvement in modern dentistry the situation has been drastically changed. Dentistry which  was  once confined  only  to mere extractions  of sensitive  and painful teeth  has now become a  great branch of science having eight great specialties and super specialties  within.
