Lack of teeth = reduced life, multiple diseases and risks of death will increase!Many people do not know

There is an indicator in our body. The greater its value, the longer the expected life span, and the higher the risk of death. For people over the age of 70:

于 When this indicator is greater than 20, the risk of death in 7 years is 22 %;

10 When this indicator is 10-19, the risk of death in 7 years is 35 %;

1 When this indicator is 1-9 o'clock, the risk of death in 7 years is 50 %;

When this indicator becomes 0, the risk of death in 7 years is 70 %.

This indicator is the number of our functional teeth. The number of your teeth is not loosened, and the teeth that can be paired up and down are the number of functional teeth.

Bad teeth

Disease running

1. Lack of a teeth, the full mouth is affected

Many middle -aged and elderly people have a lack of teeth, but everyone generally believes that a lack of a dental problem is not big, but when a teeth are missing, the teeth next to them will have enough reliance. In the long run, the teeth will be shifted in the long run, and then it will gradually affect the teeth next to the side, and to the teeth, which will be threatened by the entire mouth. treat.

2. The lack of teeth will also increase the risk of death of a variety of diseases

If there is too much teeth, it will not only weaken the chewing function, affect the nutritional status of the whole body, but also increase the risk of death of a variety of diseases.

When the number of functional teeth is lower than the average level of this age group, the mortality rate, heart disease mortality, and stroke mortality rate of gastrointestinal cancer have increased.

In addition, the chewing function of the teeth is a benign stimulus to the nervous system. If the teeth fall off prematurely, the risk of dementia will increase. Each of the number of functional teeth decreases by 1, the prevalence of dementia increases by 1.1 %.

Two methods

Whether the teeth are healthy for self -test

The teeth will pass through a long lesion process before falling. If it can be found and intervened early, it can reduce the risk of dental lack.

1. Look at the gum color

If the gums are light pink, it means that it is healthier. And if the gums are bright red or dark red, it means that there may be inflammation, and the risk of hidden teeth will fall off.

This is because under normal circumstances, the gums are closely fitted with teeth, but the gums are hyperemia and inflammation for a long time, and it is easy to retreat and form a peripheral pocket. A large amount of residues, bacteria, etc. are easy to enter the periodontal pockets. If it does not matter for a long time, it will stimulate the atrophy and destruction of the alveolar bone, which will eventually cause the teeth to loosen and fall off.

2. See if there are small black spots on the teeth

Dental caries are one of the most common dental diseases. On average, each adult may have more than 2 dental caries. The earliest performance is in some specific locations of the teeth, such as the ditch and gap of the teeth. Or the black line, although it is inconspicuous and there is no symptom, but it is already eroding the enamel, called shallow caries.

If the caries advance to the nature of the dental, it is called medium caries, which is easy to be sour and hot and cold; if the caries go deep into the pulp and destroy the blood vessels, lymphic systems, and nerves inside, it will cause spontaneous pain; It will form a penetrating disease, and the teeth will not be kept at this time.

These foods

It may be more "destroyed" than sugar

1. Carbonated beverages and juice

The outermost dental enamel of the teeth can protect the dental quality and the pulp tissue from the outside world, but it also has a fatal weakness -afraid of acid and sugar.

When long -term drinking carbonated drinks, juice, sports drinks and other acidic beverages, the acid in the drink can act on the enamel, and even the minerals on the tooth surface are dissolved.

And the sugar in sweet drinks will quickly breed the bacteria in the mouth into a plaque, so that the sugar in the food residue will produce more corrosive acids, constantly invading the surface of the teeth to make it off the mine; The enamel is constantly corroded downward, causing dental caries.

"Correct posture" of drinking drinks:

： Choose the correct tool: It is best to drink with a straw when drinking drinks, and not to be included in your mouth for a long time, which can reduce the contact between drinks and teeth and reduce the risk of dental caries;

： Rinse your mouth in time: Rinse your mouth as soon as possible after drinking, so that you can dilute the acidic liquid in the mouth, remove some food residues, and reduce the damage to the enamel.

2. Rigid food

The harder food may increase the risk of physical wear of the teeth. For example, people who often eat melon seeds are easily formed in the middle of the incisor; often biting some hard bones, not only may not wear tooth enamel, but tooth sensitivity will occur. It may cause dental cracking due to excessive force.

3. Too sticky food

Some foods have strong stickiness, easy to stick to the surface of the teeth when chewing, or remain on the teeth, providing more sufficient energy to the plaque, thereby increasing the risk of dental caries, especially the sugar content such as preserved fruit and honey. Larger, sticky and strong food.

4. Food with dark color

Coffee, tea, red wine, cola and other darker drinks, in addition to the acid to corrode the teeth, may also form pigmentation on the surface of the teeth, making the teeth more yellow or even dark.

I want 80 years old and a good teeth

Do these 3 points

1. Twenty -morning and evening, brush your teeth with warm water for 3 minutes

侧 Brush the outer side of the teeth: bristles and teeth into 45 ° angle, draw a small circle, brush about 10 times before, after two to three teeth;

侧 Inner side of the teeth: The bristles should be aligned at the junction of the teeth and the gums.

咬 Brush the teeth concentration: two teeth brush back and back, you can add a little force to brush;

： Brush the surface of the tongue: Finally brush the surface of the tongue, and then rinse the mouth with water.

2. Promote the use of dental floss instead of toothpicks

After plugging, if you use a toothpick, you may cause acute periodontal membraneitis, gum abscess, pain and bleeding. The correct way is to use dental floss. Tighten the tooth floss and mitigate the dental floss along the front, left and right directions of the teeth, and the olored food can be brought out with the movement of the dental floss.

3. Look at the dentist once a year, 2 times, and wash your teeth regularly
