title: [Dental care and sexuality].
abstract: It must be stressed that a comprehensive evaluation of the general health condition is a pre-requisite in any screening process of a specific sexual activity. In the same way, the oral health examination should include the soft tissues such as the tongue and the lips, and the oral breath as well as the teeth to stress their possible implication in disorders of any kind. A special attention is given to the connexion between a good sexual life and a good aspect of all the dentition. The main purpose is to presume the importance particularly of smile, kisses and a good breath in the sexual life of a couple.
