Once the local diseases or lesions in the oral cavity are removed, the corresponding systemic diseases will disappear.
Dental caries: Dental caries and missing teeth can easily cause stomach diseases: food is absorbed by mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. In the first step, food is fully chewed in the mouth through mechanical digestion and chemical digestion after being mixed with saliva, and then swallowed into the stomach, digested and absorbed by gastric juice and intestinal juice. Dental caries, tooth loss, eating dates, food can not be fully chewed and digested in the mouth, which directly increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily causes gastrointestinal diseases. For children, it will lead to indigestion, nutrient absorption disorder and affect development and growth.
Dental caries can cause eye diseases: bacteria in dental caries can directly spread to the orbit to cause orbital infection, and dental caries further develop, causing acute and chronic pulpitis and periapical periodontitis. Bacteria and toxins or tissue protein decomposition products often enter the blood, which can easily cause allergic reactions when circulating to the eyes. For patients with eye diseases, we should pay attention to whether there are dental caries, and if there are, we should actively treat them.
Male infertility is related to dental diseases: medical experts have observed that13 of male infertility patients with dead pulp teeth, apical cysts and chronic jaw inflammation are willing to give birth to offspring. This is because bacteria in oral inflammation enter human blood circulation through oral capillaries and further invade the reproductive system, which reduces sperm motility.
Periodontal disease: The incidence of gingivitis and periodontal disease in China population is over 90%. Researchers have detected more than 300 kinds of bacteria from the lesions of patients with periodontal disease. Bacteria and toxins can easily cause bacterial endocarditis when transferred to the heart through blood. These bacteria can enter the blood stream through small wounds in the mouth, causing inflammation of the inner wall of blood vessels, and then damage the inner wall of blood vessels through inflammatory immune reaction, forming plaques and thickening, leading to vascular stenosis. Studies have confirmed that periodontitis is a risk factor for coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. Periodontal bacterial infection that causes periodontal disease can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Some people may think this is a sensational statement, but studies by the University of Georgia, the University of Minnesota and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have shown that enzymes produced by periodontal bacteria can promote thrombosis in the body. People with severe periodontitis have a 20 cm long chronic wound in the mouth. Some bacterial toxins enter the blood through the wound, which will cause the human body to produce a colloidal protein, which is similar to platelets. It can promote blood coagulation, form thrombus, block blood vessels, and lead to heart disease and stroke.
Domestic and foreign surveys and statistics show that the incidence of coronary heart disease in male periodontitis patients or toothless people under 50 years old is 70% higher than that in the general population. The incidence of fatal coronary heartache and cardiac arrest in patients with severe alveolar bone resorption is 2 times and 3 times higher than that in normal people, respectively. Some patients with a history of myocardial infarction should pay attention to the toothache before the attack, which suggests that the condition is getting worse. Periodontal diseases can easily lead to stomach diseases: Helicobacter in oral periodontal tissues can enter the stomach when swallowed (the Department of Gastroenterology only prescribes sterilization drugs for Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, regardless of Helicobacter pylori in the mouth), which leads to Helicobacter infection in the stomach, leading to gastritis and gastric cancer.
Dental caries and periodontal diseases can induce lung infection: research shows that pneumonia in the elderly is closely related to various dental diseases. Because a large number of bacteria in the mouth will be inhaled into the lungs, leading to pneumonia.
Therefore, oral cleaning is a preventive measure that cannot be ignored and is not difficult to achieve for the elderly to prevent pneumonia. It is of great significance to do a good job of oral cleaning for the elderly to prevent pneumonia.
Periodontal disease can induce diabetes: research has proved that there is a two-way relationship between periodontitis and diabetes. Periodontitis will induce diabetes if it is not treated, because periodontal disease has started at the age when blood sugar is normal, and it will induce diabetes if it develops to a certain extent. Conversely, diabetes can be complicated with periodontitis. The blood sugar control of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients with severe periodontitis is obviously worse than that of patients without periodontal disease. If periodontal infection is effectively treated, the response of patients' tissues to insulin can return to normal.
Periodontal disease can easily lead to premature delivery: Studies have proved that the risk rate of premature delivery and low birth weight infants in pregnant women with periodontitis is 7.5 times that of normal people. Therefore, women should pay attention to the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases before pregnancy. If pregnant women have oral inflammation, even if it is only gingivitis, it may cause gingivitis bacteria to enter the blood, pass through the placenta, infect the fetus, and lead to premature delivery. The University of North Carolina investigated the relationship between premature babies and their mothers' oral diseases. In some premature babies, they found antibodies corresponding to the bacteria in the mother's mouth, which confirmed that some premature babies were related to the mother's periodontal disease. In industrialized countries, 2/3 of the dead babies are caused by premature birth, and 18% of premature babies may be related to the mother's oral diseases. Therefore, pregnant women should brush their teeth with a soft toothbrush in the morning and evening and after three meals to maintain oral hygiene during pregnancy, which can not only clean and protect teeth, but also be one of the important measures to protect the fetus.
