Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer
from depression. World Health Organization has
predicted that by 2020 depression will become the second
leading cause of disease worldwide.While physical pain
and emotional pain are different, there is research that
suggests that both types of pain may share some
neurological similarities.As oral cavity is the index of
systemic health, depression might show some of the
characteristics feature in oral cavity. In this literature,
we appraise the effects of depression on oral cavity of the
individual.
