However, if we do not pay attention to the prevention and treatment of oral problems, it may lead to many complications and seriously affect physical and mental health. Only by paying more attention in life can we prevent and control it. Let's see what oral health problems need to be understood.
Allergic lips have symptoms such as redness, blistering, bleeding, burning sensation in the mouth, or rotten mouth and oral ulcer, which are collectively called oral mucosal diseases. This disease usually occurs in people with high pressure of work and life, emotional instability, depression, unbalanced diet, digestive tract diseases, intestinal imbalance and low resistance.
It should be noted that people usually have two misunderstandings about oral ulcers:
1, the ulcer will not become malignant, and some people don't take the oral ulcer to heart and think it is a minor illness. However, for ulcers that exist for a long time and have no obvious pain, we should be alert to the possibility of malignant ulcers.
2. Pain is malignant. Faced with the obvious pain of oral ulcer, many people are worried about the danger of malignant transformation and are very scared. But in general, benign oral ulcers often have obvious pain and can heal themselves, while the pain of malignant oral ulcers is not obvious.
People who smoke, drink alcohol and chew betel nut for a long time are usually at high risk of oral cancer. Pay attention to oral hygiene and health in daily life and check it regularly. Bad teeth are not treated in time, and bad teeth are not pulled out in time, which may lead to oral cancer after a long time.
If you find that the oral ulcer is large in area, small in pain, long in duration and difficult to heal itself, you should go to the hospital in time to check whether there is cancer. Oral cancer can also be characterized as a tumor higher than oral mucosa, and the tumor can be cauliflower-like. At this time, patients should also pay attention to check whether the tumor has lesions in time.
At the same time, patients can also judge some symptoms of precancerous lesions through self-examination. Normal oral mucosa is pink. If erythema, leukoplakia, lichen planus, fibrous changes, chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, submandibular lymph node enlargement, and oral function cannot be closed normally due to tumors, patients must seek medical attention in time.
1, periodontal disease
Gum bleeding, many people will think it is a trivial matter. But for a friend who has been bleeding gums for a long time, if you always ignore it, your foot has entered the abyss of tooth loss. The main oral diseases of gingival bleeding are gingivitis and periodontitis. Another major manifestation of periodontal disease is tooth loosening. Loose teeth to a certain extent will also lead to tooth loss and fewer teeth. Therefore, if you encounter gum bleeding for a long time, don't take it lightly. Be sure to ask the doctor in time.
2, bad breath
Many people will ignore bad breath. Bad breath can be divided into physiological bad breath and pathological bad breath. The bad breath in the morning belongs to physiological bad breath and lasts for a short time. Usually it disappears quickly after brushing your teeth and gargling. Because of oral problems, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, wisdom teeth and other pathological halitosis. In this case, you should consult the dentist in time and check and treat as soon as possible. There are also some bad breath, which is related to respiratory diseases, ear, nose and throat diseases and other diseases, and should also be treated from the source.
3, bruxism
Grinding your teeth while sleeping, many people think it's just bad sleep habits. But actually bruxism is also a very common sleep disease. Socio-psychological factors, such as emotional tension and mental stress, as well as occlusal interference, genetic factors and drug factors.
Long-term tooth wear will lead to shortened crown, dentin sensitivity, pulp disease, periapical disease, tooth fracture and other corresponding diseases. Severe cases can be manifested as masticatory muscle pain and temporomandibular joint pain. Therefore, adult patients who have been grinding their teeth for a long time should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the reasons, receive treatment, or customize dental pads during sleep.
Step 4 dry mouth
In addition to physiological reasons such as gland atrophy, eating too salty and drinking less, many diseases can also cause dry mouth, such as diabetes, anemia, immune diseases, hyperthyroidism, long-term wearing dentures, salivary gland damage and so on. Therefore, xerostomia is urgent and we should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
It can prevent various common oral diseases in daily life. As long as you clean your mouth, keep a good lifestyle, eat less spicy food, supplement more vitamin C, eat more fruits and vegetables and improve your immunity, you can reduce the occurrence of oral problems.
In addition, oral examination should be carried out regularly, so as to take timely measures to find the problem and avoid the deterioration of the problem, which will eventually cause influence and injury. Because oral diseases will develop for a long time and induce diseases of surrounding tissues or other organs, we should do a good job in prevention, understand the characteristics of various oral diseases, and find and control them in time.
