National Love Day 丨 Dental Diseases requires early prevention and early treatment

September 20th is the 34th National Love Day, the theme is "Oral Health, Separational Health". Let's talk about the question of "old teeth". As the saying goes, "old teeth", as the name implies, is old, and we will lose our teeth. Is "old teeth" have to do with age? This may seem conventional, but it is not.

At the dental department of the Puqiao Street Community Health Service Center, elderly patients came to the doctor every day, complaining that "toothache is not a disease, it is really terrible to hurt." In the eyes of a 69 -year -old Zhu, he was old, and it was a normal thing to have toothache and loose teeth and fall off.

The dentist gave Zhu Laobu on the spot, and soon found out the cause of teeth pain and looseness. It turned out that the so -called loosening of the teeth and "old tooth", the dental department of the Puqiao Street Community Health Service Center, believed that age is not the main reason for the loss of teeth and should be caused by periodontitis. In 2017, the results of the national oral health epidemiological survey showed that among Chinese residents aged 35 to 44, the detection rate of dental dental stones in the oral cavity was 96.7%, and the detection rate of gum bleeding was 87.4%. In other words, 9 of the 10 adults have 9 periodontal diseases.

Compared with the knowledge of tooth decay, everyone's understanding of periodontitis is still too far away. Periodontitis, popular saying is tooth bed inflammation, mainly due to local factors to support chronic inflammation of the tissue of tissue. Mild periodontitis is manifested as the teeth become large, the gums are red, swollen, brushing bleeding, and oral odor; moderate periodontitis will cause chewing weakness, gums, gum retract, and root exposure of the roots; Symptoms, pain and other symptoms, you can't chew food, and finally your teeth fall off. The theme of the National Love Day Day is "Oral Healthy Separation". How to do dental diseases is related to the health of the whole body. The answer is clear that periodontitis is related to diseases such as diabetes, gastritis, gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer. Huang Zhi said that the greatest harm of periodontitis is that the dental loss causes the disease of the digestive system. Repeated inflammation can also cause acute endocardial inflammation.

If the periodontal tissue is unhealthy, the effect will be greatly reduced whether it is traditional inlaid denture, orthodontic treatment, or dental implants. People with severe periodontal disease cannot even plant teeth. Huang Zhi suggested that ordinary patients usually check their teeth for six months, cleaning their teeth once a year. Do not use toothpicks to remove teeth, but to use dental floss. It is best to use the tooth flusher to rinse the plaque in the gap.

Once you have periodontitis, you must regularly go to a regular oral hospital for maintenance and treatment, which will help maintain a good oral environment and control the risk factors of periodontal disease such as dental plaque. To achieve early discovery, early diagnosis, and early treatment, control the periodontal lesions in the starting stage.
