Some of modern medical research showed that dental appeared to be “small problems”, but the harm has already far exceeded the tooth itself, it threatens the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs of the important functions, even as a group of very high mortality rate Diseases of the important incentives.
1, dental died threaten the heart of China’s population suffering from periodontal disease as high as over 80 percent. According to information available, the exclusion of other heart disease susceptibility factors, periodontal disease patients suffering from heart disease than the risk of healthy gums than doubled. Periodontitis in patients with coronary heart disease incidence rate higher than the normal population of 20 percent.Following the 50-year-old male patients with periodontitis, or toothless, the incidence of coronary heart disease than the general population of 70 percent. Alveolar bone absorption serious coronary heart disease and died of cardiac arrest rates were normal 2 times and 3 times.
2, stroke, the most dangerous incentive for research confirmed that the bacteria cause gum disease can lead to vascular disease. University of Georgia, University of Minnesota and the United States Association for the Promotion of scientific studies have shown that a presence in periodontal bacteria produced by the enzyme, the body can promote thrombosis. With severe periodontitis were equivalent in the mouth about 13 centimeters long period of chronic wounds, streptococcus and other pathogens from the blood into the wound, produce a jelly-like protein that can promote blood coagulation and thrombosis formation, resulting in Stroke.
3, kidney illness in the teeth of a select 42-year-old female teachers, because of repeated toothache, back pain two months, to dental treatment. Doctors found that her lower right second molar have Qudong, marrow exposure, significantly higher pain and tenderness. Dental X-ray film: a shadow root tip. Urine tests were found in urine, dental doctors diagnosed as carious teeth with pulp death periapical inflammation, plans to do pulp treatment. Low back pain, urine-positive, the kidney lesions diagnosed by examination of the nephritis, and to give medication. In the course of dental treatment, the patient to open marrow-rule caries drainage, reduce toothache, disappeared, to have negative urine protein, low back pain significantly improved. Add to Qudong, but in small cotton medicine, temporary fill Qudong Three days later, again with toothache, back pain and proteinuria to the positive. Re-open after the drainage of the toothache, back pain and other symptoms also disappeared, medication fill, repeated occurrence of such symptoms. So repeatedly as long as six months. Analysis of doctors, her kidney is lesions caused by teeth, decided to remove the teeth, and then rule nephropathy. The results after less than a tooth extraction, negative urine protein, not the pain of the lumbar.
4, also died dental epidemiological investigation showed that the lung injury, oral health, suffering from poor lung infection and lung function to reduce the risk of oral health as well, of 1.77 times. In recent years the study also found that elderly people suffering from pneumonia and various dental close, because the mouth of a large number of bacteria can help food reflux and other reasons, be inhaled into the lungs trachea, causing pneumonia.
