Everyone knows that monitoring their health is simply necessary. The same can be said about monitoring the state of the oral cavity, because not only the beauty and whiteness of your smile, but also the health of the whole organism as a whole depends on its excellent condition.
Diseases of the oral cavity can lead to dysfunctions of various systems and even cause a weakening of immunity. Often, however, it happens the other way around - it is the lack of resistance to external "aggressors" that leads to certain dental problems. So, for example, in children at an early age, a disease such as stomatitis, which can be of a viral or bacterial nature, is often observed. It occurs when the immune system and the body's defenses are weakened and is characterized by the appearance of painful sores in the oral cavity. Often accompanied by fever. Treatment of this disease should be carried out with the participation of a dentist.
The next danger, which is also very common, is caries. It is a process of destruction of tooth tissues and the formation of a cavity (void). The destruction of enamel occurs under the influence of bacteria that multiply in the oral cavity. With insufficient hygiene, plaque accumulates on the surface of the teeth, which is an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria. And carbohydrates are considered the best food for them. Therefore, it is not in vain that they say that eating a lot of sweet is harmful. Caries in neglected form can lead to damage and tooth loss.
Another very common problem is malocclusion. Fortunately, modern dentistry knows many ways to correct such anomalies and can help with the elimination of almost any problem. And this should be done without fail, otherwise the wrong bite can cause dysfunction of the respiratory or digestive system.
Among the problems of the oral cavity, a separate line can distinguish gum disease. The most common of these is periodontitis, which is inflammatory in nature. Inflammation of the tissues with which the tooth is fixed leads in the initial stages to increased bleeding of the gums, and subsequently to the formation of gingival pockets with pus. In the most neglected version, even premature tooth loss is possible.
As follows from the above, dental can be quite serious. Therefore, their treatment in the long box is definitely not recommended. Preventive examinations at the dentist can prevent the occurrence of such diseases or eliminate their negative consequences as quickly as possible.
