They said this at the launch of the new Closeup Complete Fresh Protection, a new addition to the family of closeup variants by Unilever Ghana.
Variety of health problems
Dr Ansong advised Ghanaians to take oral healthcare very seriously.
According to her, studies had proven that poor oral health could lead to a variety of health problems such as cardio-vascular diseases, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.
She said it was disturbing to note that despite the fact that oral health was a significant part as far as the overall wellbeing of the body was concerned, the majority of Ghanaians did not accord it the necessary attention it deserved.
Don’t take oral hygiene for granted
Giovanni Caleb said oral hygiene was something that should not be taken for granted.
He said when children have bad breath, they do not have the confidence to speak when they are in the midst of their peers.
