Q: Why is oral health important?

A: Oral health is important because problems with teeth and gums can lead to other illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and pneumonia. These problems are easily prevented. The way to maintain good oral health is to visit the dentist regularly, brush teeth after every meal and floss properly.
