What are the health risks of periodontal disease? 1, bringing pathogenic bacteria into respiratory system.
After suffering from periodontitis, of course, there will be many pathogenic bacteria in dentistry, which may directly enter the digestive system and respiratory system, thus causing bad harm to the body. Especially, people with decreased immunity are more susceptible to infection, and even cause gastritis, gastropathy, COVID-19 and other diseases in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to treat periodontitis as soon as possible to prevent it from invading other organs of the human body.
2, causing cerebral infarction and heart disease.
If periodontitis is not treated immediately, germs and toxic substances in teeth are likely to enter the plasma, further aggravating diseases such as myocardial infarction and venous thrombosis, and even causing infective endocarditis, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. According to statistical research, the hospitalization probability of periodontitis patients after myocardial infarction is nearly higher than that of normal people 1/4. Secondly, a few infective endocarditis and cerebral infarction are also related to odontogenic infection.
3. Improve the probability of premature infants.
If the pregnant mother suffers from periodontitis, dental bacteria and endotoxin will enter the blood, which will immediately or indirectly endanger the baby's growth and development. According to laboratory tests, pregnant mothers with periodontitis are more likely to give birth prematurely, and the probability of low birth weight babies needs to be 7-5 times higher than that of all normal pregnant mothers. So pregnant mothers must pay more attention during pregnancy to prevent periodontitis.
4. It is likely to aggravate the condition of diabetic patients.
Generally speaking, diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from periodontitis than non-diabetic people. If blood sugar is not well controlled, its risk factors will be higher. Therefore, diabetic patients with periodontitis should actively control the blood sugar level while controlling bacterial infection. Reasonable control of blood sugar at ordinary times can obviously alleviate the symptoms of periodontitis.
Warm reminder: If you encounter periodontitis, you must treat it as soon as possible. After all, periodontitis may not only cause the above five kinds of injuries, but also cause tooth loss, which seriously affects aesthetics and diet. In the long run, it will definitely do harm to the body. In the treatment of periodontitis, patients should also pay attention to diet, such as avoiding alcohol and smoking, eating less spicy and stimulating ingredients, and ensuring diversified nutritional diets. In addition, patients should also take appropriate outdoor activities to improve their resistance.
