Our mouths are connected to the rest of our bodies, with the same blood and nerves, so oral health is important for overall health. Good oral hygiene through processes like cleaning helps prevent dental issues like cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and other problems. A study examined dental students' oral hygiene using the Silness and Loe plaque index to assess prevention of such conditions.
