Poor Oral Care in Childhood Leads to Chronic Diseases

Both caries and periodontal diseases in childhood can be triggers of many chronic diseases such as arteriosclerosis and heart diseases in adulthood. Therefore, it is very important to gain a good oral care habit from childhood. It is the best start for mothers and fathers to provide oral care training to their children and to set an example in this regard.
