1, heart disease
Pathogens of oral diseases and their toxins can invade the blood, produce related antibodies and lectins, and aggravate or cause heart diseases such as subacute infective endocarditis and coronary heart disease. A large number of studies have confirmed that periodontitis is an independent risk factor of acute attack of coronary heart disease, which is significantly related to acute attack or total mortality.
2. Cerebral vascular diseases
Like myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease induced by periodontitis, periodontitis can also induce ischemic stroke. Periodontitis has become a risk factor for stroke, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Studies have proved that periodontitis, as a risk factor of stroke, is greater than smoking and independent of other known risk factors.
3. Respiratory diseases
Oral diseases are closely related to aspiration pneumonia caused by various reasons. According to relevant statistics, 80% of the cause of pneumonia is inhalation of secretions containing bacteria in the mouth and pharynx, and most of these secretions come from the mouth.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases
Food absorbs nutrients through mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. The first stage is mechanical digestion, which is chemical digestion after being mixed with saliva when fully chewing and chewing food in the mouth, and then swallowed into the stomach, digested and absorbed by gastric juice and intestinal juice. Poor oral hygiene, some pathogenic bacteria will multiply in the stomach. Studies have proved that gastritis is caused by Helicobacter pylori, and Helicobacter pylori is also detected in dental plaque of unclean mouth. Drugs can easily remove Helicobacter pylori in the stomach and intestines, but it is difficult to remove Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque, which becomes a bacterial bank.
5. Diabetes
A large number of research results show that diabetes and periodontal disease have the same risk factors, and periodontitis and diabetes have a two-way relationship, both of which are high risk factors. Studies have shown that diabetic patients are often complicated with different degrees of oral diseases. In the diabetic population, the incidence of periodontal disease is high, and the lesions are seriously damaged and progress faster. At the same time, the blood sugar control of insulin-dependent diabetes patients with severe periodontitis is obviously worse than that of patients without periodontal disease.
6, the impact on pregnant women and the fetus
Current research has proved that periodontal disease is one of the risk factors leading to the birth of low birth weight babies. The risk rate of premature delivery and low birth weight of pregnant women with severe periodontitis is 7.5 times that of normal pregnant women, which is greater than the influence of smoking and drinking on low birth weight infants.
7, dental disease and arthritis, kidney disease, eye disease
If dental diseases are not treated in time, infectious lesions can be formed at the root of teeth, which can induce arthritis, nephritis, eye diseases and so on. This is a well-known medical knowledge in the medical field. Therefore, dental diseases should not be underestimated, and minor diseases may also cause serious diseases.
8. Affect growth and development
The decline of chewing function leads to partial eclipse and loss of appetite, which leads to the weakening of gastrointestinal digestion and absorption ability, malnutrition of the body and affects growth and development.
