2. ORAL CONDITIONS
Most oral diseases and conditions share modifiable risk factors with the leading
noncommunicable diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory
diseases and mental disorders). These risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption
and unhealthy diets high in free sugars, all of which are increasing at the global level. There is
a proven relationship between oral and general health. It is reported, for example, that diabetes
is linked with the development and progression of periodontitis. Moreover, there is a causal
link between high consumption of sugars and diabetes, obesity and dental caries.
When oral health is compromised by disease or injury, general health is also affected. The
pain and discomfort associated with oral diseases make concentrating difficult, cause people to
miss school or work, and can lead to social isolation. Oral diseases have a severe social and
economic impact on individuals and families by increasing household expenditures and
seriously affecting people’s quality of life and well-being.
