Resumen
A high level of general and oral health are invaluable assets,
a factor not always considered a basic human right for their better
life quality. The mouth is a critical point of contact with the external
environment, which is established when we talk, chew, swallow and
when food digestion begins. From a perspective of the human condition,
the mouth is crucial for the integration of sound, social appearance of
the individual, and is one of the fundamental components of overall
health. Therefore, not having an adequate level of oral health affects
self-esteem, quality of life and people’s general well-being.
