1, can cause heart disease.
Bacteria in the cavity can circulate around the human body through blood, causing related antibodies and lectins, aggravating or causing subacute infective endocarditis, coronary heart disease and other heart diseases. More and more evidence shows that there is an inevitable connection between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease. Gingival inflammation can lead to the increase of C-reactive protein, and high C-reactive protein is considered as the pathogenic factor of heart disease.
2. Pneumonia
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.
3. Diabetes
According to the latest research, the relationship between gingivitis and diabetes is two-way. On the one hand, diabetics are more likely to get gingivitis; On the other hand, chronic gingivitis is a risk factor for diabetes. Because gingivitis can make bacteria enter the blood and active cells, and produce inflammatory biological signals that are destructive to the body. Once insulin-related cells are destroyed, it will cause type 2 diabetes.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases
Studies have proved that gastritis and digestive tract ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori, and there are a large number of Helicobacter pylori in the 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. Prevention of oral diseases
Avoid smoking, drinking and chewing betel nut. A large number of studies show that tobacco is the biggest carcinogen, so smoking is the most dangerous bad habit. Therefore, the primary prevention of oral cancer in China should focus on the harm of smoking and drinking, change the habit of smoking and drinking, and encourage the public not to get into the habit of smoking. Those who have smoked had better quit smoking, and those who have smoked but can't quit should at least reduce their dosage.
Pay attention to the protection of light radiation to prevent long-term direct sunlight. The lower lip has more light opportunities than the upper lip, and 95% of red lip cancers are in the lower lip.
A balanced diet reduces fat intake and increases vegetables and fruits. Increase the intake of vitamins A, B, E and trace element selenium.
Don't drink overheated drinks or eat overheated food, so as not to irritate the oral mucosa.
Avoid bad stimulation, adjust the sharp edge of denture in time to prevent friction, compression and injury of soft tissue.
Maintain good oral hygiene, remove residual roots and crowns, adjust the tips of molars in time, and avoid biting cheeks and tongue repeatedly.
Two sets of dentition are equally important. Many parents mistakenly think that deciduous teeth will be replaced sooner or later, so they take it lightly. As everyone knows, the health of primary teeth is not only directly related to the smooth eruption and healthy growth of permanent teeth, but also crucial to the development of jaws, the arrangement of complete teeth and the normal development of children's whole body. Therefore, we suggest that parents should pay attention to the oral hygiene of infants while paying attention to their all-round development. In the early stage, parents can wipe their mouths and brush their teeth, and then teach their children to develop the habit of brushing their teeth as their children grow up, and be familiar with the oral medical environment and check regularly to avoid fear and vicious circle after suffering from dental diseases.
Oral health examination once a year, oral cleaning once a year. It should be pointed out that once a year here is for adults. For growing infants, it is recommended to have oral examination every three to six months, and for teenagers to have oral examination every six months, so as to find, diagnose and treat oral diseases at an early stage. In fact, as long as the trend of disease development is mastered, most oral diseases can be prevented and treated. Being old-fashioned is not inevitable. Who's goal is "8020", that is, by the age of 80, there will still be 20 natural teeth in the mouth. This has been achieved in many elderly people. Oral health is also a very important link for the aging China.
6. Causes of oral ulcers
1, trauma
Traumatic ulcer accounts for the largest proportion of all oral ulcers. The common cause is being bitten by teeth, especially irregular teeth. This kind of ulcer, as long as the cause of trauma is removed, usually the wound will heal within a week. During treatment, patients can apply analgesic ointment or liquid medicine to the affected area to prevent infection.
2, thrush
It is what most people often say, getting angry or lack of sleep leads to oral skin damage. Its incidence is second only to traumatic ulcer. Clinical manifestations are often repeated, multiple, that is, recurrent, with several ulcers at the same time, and very painful. The ulcer surface of thrush is flat, with redness around it.
3. Oral cancer
Oral cancer that causes ulcers may appear in the form of lumps or oral ulcers. However, this kind of ulcer often has a hardened edge around it, and the tissue in the center of the ulcer will present a warty or cauliflower-like surface.
4. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy
When the head or neck receives radiotherapy for cancer, or during chemotherapy, normal oral mucosal cells will also suffer from large-area ulcers due to radiation or drug damage, and the white blood cell count will decrease. In severe cases, patients will have difficulty swallowing and even need to eat through nasogastric tube.
5. Other reasons
Other causes of oral ulcers include autoimmune diseases, such as erosive oral lichen planus and pemphigus, or viral and fungal infections, and Steven-Johnson syndrome caused by drug toxicity, but the latter is relatively rare.
