Bacterial infection in periodontitis not only directly affects the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, but also induces immune and inflammatory reactions in the host. Studies have shown that periodontal disease is related to stroke and myocardial infarction. Periodontitis and diabetes have a two-way relationship and influence each other. The proportion of periodontitis patients suffering from diabetes is higher than that of periodontal healthy people, and blood sugar is difficult to control. At present, periodontitis has been listed as the sixth major complication of diabetes. Diabetic patients are more prone to periodontal disease than non-diabetic patients. Periodontal disease has a high incidence, serious lesions and rapid progress, often accompanied by gingival abscess and periodontal abscess. The risk of premature delivery and low birth weight of pregnant women with severe periodontitis is 5 ~ 7 times higher than that of pregnant women with healthy periodontal condition. Oral cavity is another gathering place of Helicobacter pylori, which is detected in oral mucosa surface, saliva and dental plaque, with the highest detection rate of subgingival plaque. Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogenic factor of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer, which is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer. Periodontal treatment can reduce the possibility of stomach disease. In addition, periodontal disease is related to systemic diseases such as respiratory tract infection, rheumatoid arthritis and nephropathy, which leads to various diseases with extremely high mortality.
It seems how necessary it is to treat your periodontal disease in time at an early stage!
