Answer 1

Health of an individual directly reflects one's behavior through the life style,food habits or cofactors associated with it.People when reach a specific age undergo regular health check up as a routine doing it at least once in a year .But the most neglected or avoided thing is a dental visits.If it comes along with a health package then they go for it otherwise never until a damage that causing pain or irritation occurs.We eat to stay healthy but never thought to keep our oral cavity healthy for regular visits. Due to today's habits and foodstyle the hardest portion named the enamel erodes slowly leading to cavity and dental carries causing medical expenses suddenly. A dental visit is necessary to rule out this problem at the earliest and find a solution after it is the starting point of gastrointestinal tract which needs utmost care.
