Exploring Oral Health Symptoms, Issues and Solutions

Hi, my name is Jenny, and I decided to create this blog to help people who have questions about their oral health. In it, I plan to look at symptoms of various oral issues from cavities to mouth cancer. I also plan to include posts on various dental conditions and their solutions.
