    The document discusses the most common dental diseases: 1) Cavities, which result from bacteria and acids damaging tooth enamel over time. 2) Gum disease, caused by a buildup of plaque from poor brushing and flossing that leads to swollen, bleeding gums and potential tooth loss. 3) Oral cancer, which affects the mouth and can cause non-healing sores or pain. 4) Receding gums, where gum tissue pulls away from teeth exposing tooth roots. 5) Teeth grinding, which involves rubbing of teeth and produces sounds, potentially requiring a splint. Regular visits to the dentist every six months are emphasized for prevention and maintenance of good oral hygiene.
