Importance of implants
Did you know that restoring your teeth has a direct impact on your quality of life?
When we are with the oral health nowadays, we have much more ease in carrying out routine activities, such as sleeping, eating and even making friends, for example.
Currently our country is record holder in number of dentists around the world. However, this does not mean that Brazilians have very healthy teeth.
It's exactly the opposite. The Ministry of Health released a survey that shows that 55.61% of society does not go to the dentist every year.
