As the old saying goes, a good tooth makes a good appetite.
In fact, tooth problems may not only lead to poor appetite, but also cause many more serious problems.
Today Dr. Clove will talk about it in detail.
The trivial matter of bad teeth may be related to some big problems.
1. Periodontitis: May be a Good Partner for Diabetes
One of the major manifestations of periodontitis is loose teeth. When the teeth are loose to a certain extent, they will also cause teeth to fall off and have fewer and fewer teeth. Not only does what not smell good, but chewing also becomes a problem, affecting nutrition absorption.
However, what we do not understand is that severe periodontitis is also related to systemic diseases, especially diabetes.
Some studies have shown that severe periodontitis may be a sign of type 2 diabetes.
On the other hand, poor blood sugar control will also aggravate the progress of periodontitis-this is a vicious circle.
2. Inflammation of wisdom teeth: Severe suffocation
For young people, a large part of toothache is wisdom tooth pain.
If there is a problem with wisdom teeth and the infection is not controlled as early as possible, there is a certain probability of interstitial infection, that is, the infection spreads to the soft tissues around the teeth.
At this time, the cheeks will swell in light cases, and the infection will spread to the throat and even cause asphyxia in heavy cases.
3. Gingival bleeding: Leukemia and hepatitis may also have this manifestation,
Many people bite an apple and leave a bloody tooth mark on the apple, which indicates that the gums are in an inflammatory state prone to bleeding.
The main causes of gingival bleeding are gingivitis and periodontitis, which are two major periodontal diseases. Often, dental calculi continue to stimulate gums and are not caused by regular tooth washing.
However, some systemic diseases may also lead to gingival bleeding, especially some diseases that lead to coagulation dysfunction, such as leukemia and hepatitis, which may also promote gingival bleeding.
Fortunately, these situations are relatively rare, so it is necessary to evaluate oral health before considering these special situations.
If you want to have good teeth, it is most important to do these five things.
1. Carefully brush your teeth, carefully brush your teeth, carefully brush your teeth
At present, it is recognized that the effective brushing method is mainly [improved Babbitt brushing method], which carefully brushes teeth twice a day.
2. Learn to floss your teeth at least once a day.
3. Stomatologists are recommended to examine any pain or hemorrhage in teeth, gums and other parts of the oral cavity.
4. Even if you [feel good], you should visit the dentist at least once a year (and do dental cleaning treatment at the same time).
5. Systemic diseases should be strictly controlled, hypertension and diabetes should be managed by physicians, otherwise it is easy to increase the risk of oral health problems.
