As of November 2022, oral diseases affect up to an estimated 3.5 billion people with tooth decay being the most common problem for most people.

 
As urbanization grows and living conditions keep changing, dental problems and oral health seem to be growing as well. While oral diseases are largely preventable, they do pose a major burden in terms of health for a lot of countries and affect plenty of people throughout their lifetime.
As of November 2022, oral diseases affect up to an estimated 3.5 billion people with tooth decay being the most common problem for most people.

Oral diseases are a result of plenty of risk factors that are becoming exceedingly common, such as sugar consumption, alcohol and tobacco use, and declining hygiene.
Periodontal diseases that affect the gums are also very common, and are estimated to affect about 19% of the global adult population - that’s about 1 billion people!

Tooth loss, called edentulism, is also fairly common, being at 7% in adults above the age of 20 and 23% in adults above 60. Losing teeth is often a result of oral health problems, but sometimes also due to trauma and impaction. Losing teeth isn’t just traumatic at times, but also socially damaging and can limit functionality, which causes further problems.

Most oral health problems share some common risk factors that are fairly modifiable - mostly tobacco use, alcohol and high sugar consumption. These problems are also linked to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as cancer and diabetes.

Despite how widespread oral and dental health problems are, they are fairly preventable. By promoting a well-balanced diet, you can protect your teeth. Avoiding any kind of drugs - whether that’s alcohol, tobacco or anything else - can help.

Drinking more water also helps with avoiding dental problems, since it can help wash away any food particles left in the mouth and bring the pH level back to neutral. pH levels that are too high or too low can also cause dental problems.
