Question

and when will dentists all go away and be known an teeth fixing will be just another part of healthcare.

Answer 1

Did you know that poor dental hygiene can increase the severity of heart disease or diabetes?

Some of the same bacteria in the periodontal pocket create an inflammation that causes plaque buildup in the small arteries of the heart, restricting blood flow to the heart muscle, which can lead to a heart attack, The bacteria grow and get into the bloodstream. Bacteria get into the heart muscle and cause that inflammation in the heart.


Oral hygiene and overall health definitely go hand in hand. The extent might come as a shocker. In fact, more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases produce oral signs and symptoms, according to the Academy of General Dentistry as cited on the Mayo Clinic's Web site. Conversely, health issues that begin in the mouth can quickly lead to problems in other parts of the body.


People who have poor dental health, if they have certain medical conditions, poor dental health can affect those conditions. One example is if you have a diabetic who has (decayed) teeth, their blood sugar can be very difficult to control. Even when they are on a very good diet regimen, it still can be very difficult to control. They can develop a problem with their teeth that can get it out of control.


However, a cavity here or there is not going to cause such problems. But, when ignored for a long period of time, poor oral hygiene can play a significant role in other health problems.


Good oral hygiene is also extremely important for pregnant women. Studies have shown that hormonal changes during pregnancy can make women vulnerable to other conditions, such as gum disease and toxemia. Severe gum disease and toxemia can increase the risk of preterm delivery or giving birth to a baby with low birth weight.


Such significant health problems, all stemming from poor oral hygiene and tooth decay, can become very costly to employers and their group members. To that end, routine trips to the dentist are as necessary as annual checkups with a primary care physician
