As soon as you open your mouth, your teeth tell about your family background, cultural accomplishment, and the general attitude and concept of life in your circle.
in the west, people pay more attention to the care of teeth than other organs.
people in Europe, America and other countries visit dentists at least twice a year, so as to prevent the occurrence of decayed tooth, and carry out gum and periodontal health care, tooth shaping, restoration and beauty, etc. Therefore, their beautiful white teeth are rarely born, and most of them have undergone plastic surgery, repair and maintenance.

Everyone is very familiar with dentists, and when they have other minor physical problems, they also go directly to the dentist for consultation.
In the United States, there is one dentist for every 16, people, and there are hundreds of professional
insurance companies that engage in dental insurance in China. On average, people spend about $1, to $1,5 a year on dental care, which does not include cosmetic restoration of teeth.
