Long Description
Dental condition terms refer to clinical vocabulary used to describe oral health problems, including diseases, abnormalities, and structural changes in the teeth, gums, and jaw.
Examples include terms like caries (tooth decay), abscess, bruxism, bone loss, and gingivitis. These terms help dental professionals communicate diagnoses and treatment plans clearly and accurately.
