Feeling isolated because of mouth disorders?

Whether it’s through eating, talking, laughing, or smiling, how you use your mouth often determines the quality of your social interactions with other people. So, it’s only natural that problems in your mouth can impact your self-esteem and get in the way of time with family and friends. That’s why it’s so important to put a stop to mouth disorders right away.

Mouth disorders include a wide range of conditions that can affect different parts of the mouth, most of which are caused by infections or injuries.²

Here are some common examples you might recognise:

• Gingivitis (an inflammation of the gums), or other gum conditions
• Stomatitis
• Halitosis, also known as bad breath
• Sensitive teeth
• Mouth ulcers
• Caries, also known as tooth decay

You can find out more about these below, under Related conditions.

Maintaining a good standard of oral and dental hygiene is important to protect against any mouth problems. However, you may sometimes develop a mouth disorder because of hormonal changes, or a family history. So it helps to stay prepared with a treatment that relieves the pain and reduces the inflammation, all in one.
