What are the serious oral diseases?

Many people often do not have an important awareness of oral problems, and may think

Oral problems have a certain impact on everyone's life, because it is one of the most common problems we encounter in our daily lives. Most people think that this is just a small problem and don't need to pay too much attention to it. In fact, this is not the case. Minor oral problems may also lead to other diseases in the body. So, what are the dangers of oral diseases?

Hazard 1: Dental diseases are related to arthritis, kidney disease, and eye diseases. If dental diseases are not treated in a timely manner, infection lesions will form at the roots of the teeth, which can induce arthritis, nephritis, eye diseases, etc. This is already widely known medical knowledge in the medical community. Therefore, dental diseases must not be taken lightly, as minor illnesses may lead to major ones.

Hazard 2: Heart disease The pathogenic bacteria of oral diseases and the toxins they produce can invade the blood, produce related antibodies, agglutinins, etc., 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 for acute attacks of coronary heart disease and is significantly correlated with acute attacks or overall mortality.

Hazard 3: Respiratory diseases Oral diseases are strongly correlated with aspiration pneumonia caused by various reasons. According to relevant statistics, 80% of pneumonia is caused by inhalation of secretions containing bacteria in the mouth and pharynx, and most of these secretions come from the mouth.

Hazard 4: Impact on growth and development. Reduced chewing function causes picky eating and loss of appetite, leading to weakened gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, malnutrition of the body, and affected growth and development.

Hazard 5: Diabetes

The results of a large number of studies have shown that there are common risk factors for the onset of diabetes and periodontal disease, that periodontitis and diabetes have a bidirectional relationship, and that they are high-risk factors for each other. Studies have shown that diabetic patients often suffer from oral lesions of varying degrees.

Among people with diabetes, the incidence of periodontal disease is high, the lesions are more severe and progress more rapidly. At the same time, the blood sugar control of insulin-dependent diabetic patients with severe periodontitis was significantly worse than that of patients without periodontal disease.

Have you ever thought that a small oral disease can cause so much harm? So don’t underestimate oral problems. Once there is a problem, treat it in time to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.
