The Weight of Neglected Oral Health
Mark, a 42-year-old sales manager from Scarborough, had long struggled with oral health concerns. Years of neglect had led to persistent bad breath, gum inflammation, and staining that made him self-conscious. He often avoided smiling or speaking up in meetings, worried others would notice his dental issues.
I was embarrassed and withdrawn, Mark shared. I didnt realize how much it affected my confidence.
