Morphology
The meaning 'maintenance of healthy teeth' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'dental' (pertaining to teeth) with 'care' (treatment or maintenance). This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows normal adjective + noun semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Dental care comes from the simple idea that dental means 'tooth' and care means 'looking after'. It gives the image of cleaning, checking, and fixing teeth at the dentist, so it now means 'keeping your teeth healthy'.
