The other day I came across an article and I was startled to read that infected tooth and gums can lead to degrading of general health and untimely death. We are all so concerned about our general physical health and rarely do we think about our oral health. Other than the routine brushing that is done in the morning not much of care is given after eating or even before going to bed. But did you know that infected teeth and gums pump huge amounts of bacteria in blood during eating and swallowing, which is the main cause of heart problems and diabetes.
Quick action needs to be taken to improve or maintain dental health which in turn will safeguard general health. People have become so negligent towards oral health that any early symptom of the disease is regarded ass important and may even go unnoticed. Unless this attitude changes dental disease dental disease will be life threatening as any other disease. Top priority should be given to dental caries and disease of the gums, tooth cavities and oral cancer.
Patients with high risk of heart disease should maintain high level of oral health. Also studies have shown a variety of intracranial complications as well as systemic disease, gastro intestinal, ocular, skin and renal diseases that may occur as a result of dental infections.
A professional cleaning and advice needs to be obtained every 6-12 months from a dentist. The worst problem encountered with oral hygiene is foul smell from the mouth which is of great social embarrassment. Of course another major problem one encounter these days is oral cancer because of smoking, pan and ghutka chewing and various other tobacco products. These problems if not detected early can cause disfigurement and life threatening problems. As I said earlier ‘Health is Wealth’ so remember it’s not just the general health but the overall health including the tooth and the gums that needs to be taken care of. Also earlier the diagnosis earlier the treatment of dental problems preventing complications that can be life threatening.
