A bright smile with good teeth is an important element of our personality today. Nowadays, everybody can have one since modern dentistry and technology offer so many possibilities. And yet, it is absolutely essential that we master the knowledge and application of all this information so that from an early age it will be the foundation for our future strong and healthy teeth.
Today, this information is codified and applied in organized preventive dental schemes that should run in all dental surgeries, both in a national and local level, as well as in the family. Dentistry has proved that the main mouth diseases (such as caries and periodontitis) can be prevented and technology provides further possibilities of effective prevention.
Medical science has already proved the role of dental health in the overall health of the individual and the relationship between the mouth and the vital organs of our body.

The specialized science of psychology and psychiatry has proved the
decisive role of stomatic health in the formation of the psychological makeup of the individual and especially of the child.
