Do you know how much oral health knowledge?

The impact of oral diseases on the health and quality of life is reflected as follows:

The impact of oral diseases on systemic health. Oral diseases will systemic health threat to cause and exacerbate many systemic diseases.

(1). Heart disease: oral disease pathogens and toxins can invade the blood, aggravated or caused by sub acute infective endocarditic, coronary heart disease. Numerous studies confirm that periodontitis is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease with acute exacerbation, with acute onset or total mortality is significantly correlated.

(2). Respiratory diseases: oral disease and aspiration pneumonia due to all causes a strong correlation. According to statistics, 80 percent of the incentive, pneumonia inhalation of oral and pharyngeal secretions containing bacteria, and these secretions are mostly from the oral cavity.

(3). Diabetes: a large number of studies have shown that diabetes and periodontal disease there are common risk factors, and each other's risk factors. Studies have shown that diabetic patients are often complicated by the varying degrees of oral lesions in the diabetic population; the high incidence of periodontal disease, the lesion damage is severe and dental supplies progress more rapidly. At the same time, accompanied by severe periodontitis in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes glucose control significantly worse than patients without periodontal disease.

(4). Gastrointestinal diseases: peptic ulcer caused by H. pylori, there are a lot of Helicobacter pylori in the mouth, the drug is easy to clear the stomach of Helicobacter pylori, Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque difficult to get rid of bacteria library.

(5). Cerebrovascular disease: periodontal disease and carotid artery plaque thickening correlation between carotid plaque thickening is a determination index of atherosclerosis, suggesting that the mechanism of the correlation between the two diseases actually of atherosclerosis. Periodontitis as a stroke risk factor than smoking, but independent of Missing teeth can do the dental implant other known risk factors. It has been reported that 25% of stroke patients with oral infection, while the control group, only 2.5%.

(6). on maternal and fetal effects: the current studies have shown that periodontal disease is a risk factor for low birth weight babies are born. The rate of periodontal normal pregnant women 7.5 times the risk of severe periodontitis in pregnant women, premature birth and low birth weight children, more than smoking, drinking and the impact on low birth weight children

(7). Affect growth and development: masticatory function is reduced, resulting in partial eclipse, and loss of appetite, leading to gastrointestinal digestion and absorption weakened, malnourished body growth and development are affected.
