There are several types of mouth disorders that can affect the health and function of the mouth, teeth, and gums. Here are some examples:

- Gum disease: Also known as periodontal disease, this is a serious infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
- Oral cancer: This is a type of cancer that can occur in the mouth, throat, or tongue, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption.
