This literature review explores the effects of chewing betel nuts on dental health in Indonesia. Chewing betel nuts, a cultural tradition known as "nginang," is popular in Indonesia and has social significance. While some believe it offers benefits like a smoking-like sensation and improved dental health, evidence shows that it can cause severe damage to teeth.
