You will experience other issues, such as bad breath and inflamed gums, as these conditions worsen. Your gums are then being eroded by bacteria, which makes them more susceptible to issues like bleeding, pain, redness, and other issues. If these issues are not addressed right away, they will worsen, causing you to experience periodontitis, dental plaque, dental calculus, loose teeth, tooth pain, and other issues that could even result in tooth loss.

Dental caries develop as a result of bacteria attacking tooth enamel, which can then spread to the dentin and even the pulp over time. Bad breath, tooth pain, brittle teeth, and tooth loss can result from this. When caries develops, a chain reaction takes place in which healthy teeth start to erode as germs spread to neighboring teeth.

   Oral diseases, while largely preventable, pose a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death.
   It is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people.
   Untreated dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth is the most common health condition, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2019.
   Treatment for oral health conditions is expensive and usually not part of universal health coverage (UHC).

Most low- and middle-income countries do not have sufficient services available to prevent and treat oral health conditions.
Oral diseases are caused by a range of modifiable risk factors common to many noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including sugar consumption, tobacco use, alcohol use, and poor hygiene, as well as their underlying social and commercial determinants.
