Abstract:
Alcohol being used on a daily basis is an established social norm globally. Heavy alcohol use, particularly when combined with smoking, is a significant oral cancer risk factor. Alcohol addiction is a common concern in all communities. Alcohol drinking can lead to a variety of problems, including oral health issues such as periodontal disease, plaque build-up, and caries in individuals of all ages and sexes. Alcoholics and drug abusers frequently overlook their oral health; in this circumstance, dental health care professionals play a vital role in promoting oral health and further providing prevention of other oral and systemic illnesses.
