Oral health is about your overall health

Judging from the results of the fourth national oral epidemiological survey, the prevalence of caries in deciduous teeth of 5-year-old children was 70.9%, an increase of 5.8 percentage points over ten years ago, and the prevalence of caries in children was on the rise. The prevalence of caries in the permanent teeth of 12-year-old children was 34.5%, an increase of 7.8 percentage points from a decade ago. The periodontal health of middle-aged people should not be ignored. Among residents aged 35-44, the detection rate of gingival bleeding was 87.4%, an increase of 10.1 percentage points compared with ten years ago. However, oral health is not a one-time event, and it is necessary to take a long-term view.
