During orthodontic treatment, appliances attached to the teeth make brushing difficult, and food debris can easily remain. If left unaddressed, this may lead to cavities or gum inflammation, so more careful care is needed. Learn proper brushing techniques and how to use supplementary oral hygiene products to help maintain healthy teeth during orthodontic treatment.2026-06-26

Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.2026-06-26
