Recognizing the importance of oral

Dental epidemiological survey found that: a common childhood oral disease is mainly dental caries (tooth decay), and adults the most common oral diseases are periodontal disease, gingivitis and periodontitis mainly. Because children's teeth have not yet completely mineralized, oral bacteria attached to the tooth surface, so that the teeth demineralized, softened, undermining the formation of dental caries. And adults after the age of 25 after re-mineralization of teeth, strengthen teeth on caries resistance, significantly decreased the incidence of dental caries, and tend to be stable, but the rate of adult periodontal disease increased significantly with age .

Specialists through clinical observation that acute myocardial infarction and coronary atherosclerosis in patients with oral health status was significantly worse than the normal population. Periodontitis patients with coronary heart disease made lame 20% higher than the normal population male periodontitis patients .50 years of age or those with no teeth out of the general population incidence of coronary heart disease 70% of severe cases of periodontal disease, fatal coronary heart disease and cardiac arrest rates were 2 times the normal population and 3 times. Periodontitis, gingivitis probability of suffering a stroke three times higher than normal.

One pair of old studies, the plaque index and oral hygiene (brushing, flossing and professional dental cleaning frequency) and cerebral vascular accident has a significant relationship. That those who can not live independently once a year can not clean teeth. The possibility of cerebral vascular accident is 4.76 times the controls.

Bleeding gums is one of the most common periodontal health. Experts said that in recent years, people began to shift attention to the teeth to the gums. According to the Dental Reviews data show that the prevalence of people bleeding gums, bleeding gums from 12 to 65 year-olds there. According to statistics, experience bleeding gums, 66%, of which, known bleeding gums is gingivitis 64%, and that is "lit" is also 56%.

According to the International Medical Association statistics show that: 70% of people worldwide suffer from periodontal disease. Which accounted for 99% of adult patients; in China, up 77.3% incidence of periodontal disease, which accounted for 99.2% of adult patients.

Plaque, especially in patients with periodontitis plaque, may be the dwelling places of respiratory tract pathogens. Epidemiological survey of chronic respiratory diseases, oral hygiene index was significantly higher than those without the disease. Multiple regression analysis age, race, sex, smoking status and oral hygiene index and other factors, the results indicate that persons with poor oral hygiene, the incidence of chronic respiratory disease is good oral hygiene by 1.77 times. Another 25-year longitudinal study of smoking by multiple regression analysis, alveolar bone height, age, education, alcohol consumption and other factors, found that severe periodontal disease to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at increased risk.

Periodontal patients suffering from diabetes, the probability of lame is seven times normal. In addition, periodontal disease and diabetes also has a two-way relationship. Scientific evidence that diabetes is a risk factor for periodontal disease, periodontal disease also have an impact on diabetes. Experts believe that the basis of clinical experience: patients already suffering from diabetes, if you do not actively treat these oral diseases, it is difficult to effectively reduce serum glycation end products, diabetes treatment will bring great obstacle; the other hand, diabetes control is also tooth Zhou Yan important prerequisite for improvement.
