Oral health and overall health
Oralhealth is not only essential for an incredible appearance but it is also very
significant for your overall health. Nutrition for the physical body is not the
only thing that is facilitated by the mouth. But it also promotes self-esteem
and enhances interaction and thus, triggers the feeling of wellbeing.
Oral Health that affects
overall health:-
Cardiovascular
Ailments and Oral Health – Many people who suffer from
periodontitis have a higher heart attack risk as the mouth happens to pave an
open path into the body. Bacteria from
the gums that are infected can easily dislodge, make an entry into the blood
stream, get attached to the blood vessels and give rise to clot formations.
Clot formations can also be triggered by the inflammation from the gum disease.
The blood flow to the heart is decreased by clots that elevate the blood
pressure and enhances the heart attack risk.
Lung
Disease and Oral Health –Lung infections are also caused
by periodontal disease. This can range from mild respiratory issues to severe health
problems like pneumonia. Although it can be quite difficult to comprehend how
taking care of your oral health can make the lungs healthier. But it will make
all the more sense if you judge how the bacteria-filled air can damage the
lungs.
Dementia
and Oral Health – Gingivitis involves a lot of bacteria
and gives rise to new ones in the mouth. These bacteria can enter the brain
either through the bloodstream or through the nerve cells in the head. This
can even lead to Alzheimer’s’ Disease.
Diabetes
and Oral Health–Type 2 diabetes patients have an
enhanced risk of developing periodontitis disease. It has been revealed that
people with a higher level of gum disease have almost double the risks to develop
type 2 diabetes than those with lower levels. There
are also different kinds of molecules and they may get attached to the receptors
of insulin and prevent the body from using them for preparing glucose into the
cells.
