"When your teeth and gums are in good condition, you might not even notice
their impact on your day-to-day life. Good oral health helps us chew, taste,
swallow, speak and convey emotions.
This means the state of your mouth can affect nutrition, confidence, forming
relationships and maintaining overall good health and wellbeing.
People who have missing or damaged teeth, or other oral health issues such as
gum disease, know this all too well.
They may not only live with pain that affects their sleep, speech and ability
to enjoy certain foods, but often also face discrimination and stigma.
So, why is it so shameful to have missing teeth or gum disease? And what can we
do about it?"
