Common Perceptions of Periodontal Health and Illness Among Adults: A Qualitative Study

By consensus as shown on this study done in Iran by Dr. Ali Montazeri, majority of the general public don’t fully realize the importance of periodontal health.

Oct 12, 2020 |

Recently, I attended a webinar of PSP that discusses oral health in relation to CoVid-19 and it provided interesting information that inspired me to write on this topic.
