About the program
Oral health is an essential part of your overall health and well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to dental cavities and gum disease, and has also been linked to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is a lifelong commitment. The earlier you learn proper oral hygiene habits — such as brushing, flossing, and limiting your sugar intake — the easier it’ll be to avoid costly dental procedures and long-term health issues. Oral health includes your teeth and gums, both of which require regular care to avoid cavities, infections, and other issues. Taking care of your oral health can also benefit other parts of your body, including your heart. Who should take this Course?
