Oral Health

Oral health is an integral component of lifelong health and is much more than the absence of oral disease. Oral health can affect a person's comfort in eating and social interactions, their self-esteem and satisfaction with their appearance.

Oral health is affected by a complex interplay of social, environmental, and economic factors that extend beyond risk behaviour. Specific population groups, such as refugees and prison inmates, continue to experience extensive oral disease.
