Daily care for oral hygiene is closely related to preventing the occurrence of diabetes ? In the past, academic circles have believed that patients with periodontal disease and poor oral hygiene may have a higher chance of bacteremia and systemic inflammation;
and excessive blood sugar are also a high-risk group for bacterial infection and chronic inflammation. Recently, Korean studies have confirmed that the increase in the number of periodontal disease or teeth missing may indeed increase the risk of diabetes.
1. Can oral health prevent diabetes attacks? The risk of brushing teeth three times a day is 8% lower.
comes from Ewha Women's University in South Korea. It is a joint research team with a St. Mary Hospital affiliated to Seoul Catholic University. It uses the National Health Insurance System of South Korea (NHIS) to collect health care data from 50 million people for random sampling , and finally collect information from 514,866 subjects. The research team evaluated their height, weight, lifestyle, oral health status and oral hygiene behaviors in an attempt to find the association between oral hygiene and diabetes.
study initially found that about one in six (17.5%) of the subjects had periodontal disease and 31,545 subjects (16%) had diabetes. After using computer modeling and adjusting demographic data, physical activity, smoking and drinking, periodontal disease and missing teeth (more than 15) increased the risk of diabetes by 9% and 21% respectively; those who brushed their teeth more than 3 times a day were related to a 8% reduction in the risk of diabetes.
Further analysis showed that for middle-aged and middle-aged people under 51 years old, compared with those who brush their teeth twice a day or do not brush their teeth at all, the risk of diabetes is reduced by 14%; while for middle-aged and elderly people over 51 years old, the risk of diabetes is reduced by 7% compared with those who brush their teeth twice a day or do not brush their teeth; but for those who brush their teeth more than 3 times a day, the risk of diabetes is reduced by 7%.
2. Periodontal disease and tooth deficiency are related to diabetes! Research indicates that frequent teeth brushing is more beneficial to women.
The study also found that periodontal disease seems to have a stronger impact on young people: periodontal disease is associated with an increase in diabetes risk by 14%, while in the elderly, it is an increase of 6%. For adults aged 51 and under, the risk of diabetes increased by 16% for those who lack 1-7 teeth, while for those who are over 52 years old, the risk of diabetes increased by 34%.
In addition, there are differences between men and women. There is a stronger association between increasing teeth brushing and reducing women's risk of diabetes. For women, brushing their teeth more than 3 times a day or twice a day reduces the risk of diabetes by 15% and 8% respectively. But for men, if they brush their teeth more than 3 times a day, the risk of diabetes is reduced by only 5%.
study authors said that although this study did not reveal the exact mechanism that links oral hygiene with the development of diabetes, oral diseases such as tooth decay and periodontal disease are prone to chronic inflammation and systemic inflammation, and increase the production of inflammatory biomarkers. As previous studies have shown, this condition is related to insulin impedance and the development of diabetes.
The authors believe that frequent brushing of teeth may reduce the risk of new diabetes, while the presence and number of missing teeth in periodontal disease may increase the probability of diabetes. Overall, improving oral hygiene may be associated with reducing the risk of new diabetes.
3. Will you suffer from periodontal disease if you use too long? Is electric toothbrush easy to brush clean?
Use toothbrush for too long may also increase the chance of periodontal disease? If the toothbrush is not replaced for too long, it may cause the teeth and oral cleaning to be insufficiently thorough. Plaque is prone to remain on the teeth, which may indirectly increase periodontal disease problems. Many patients only found that the plaque on the left and right outer sides was not brushed when cleaning their teeth. It is recommended that everyone develop the habit of regular teeth cleaning, which is also very important for dental health care.
It should be noted that relevant research points out that periodontal disease is related to health problems such as heart disease and sexual dysfunction, showing the importance of dental health to health. In addition to correctly using the Bei style brushing method to remove plaque from teeth, it is recommended to use toothpaste with fluorine content of more than 1,200ppm to prevent tooth decay. As for toothbrush bristles, the softer the better, so as to avoid damage to the gums.
Some people are worried that the electric toothbrush is not clean. In fact, electric toothbrushes are also very good auxiliary tools. Proper use can help teeth be cleaner and smoother. The key point is that no matter whether you use a general toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, you should pay attention to the brushing force. Many patients suffer from excessive brushing force, which may even damage the enamel in the long run.
4. Brushing too hard can damage the enamel! Can whitening patches hurt teeth?
Many patients who have first diagnosed with dental diagnosis have too much force to brush their teeth and cause gums and oral injuries. Usually, about half a year after reducing the brushing force, the injured gums can recover well. Remind the public to correct the wrong concept that the harder the bristles, the better and the brushing of their teeth is clean before they can be cleaned up in order to maintain gums and oral health.
In addition, there are many people using whitening patches. Will it lead to fragility of teeth? Here I would like to remind everyone that the whitening patch will indeed grind off a small part of the enamel. Be careful not to over-graze or often eat melon seeds, crabs and other foods to avoid the patch rupture and damage to the teeth.
The joints of whitening patches are prone to tooth decay. Pay special attention to cleaning the joints when brushing. Consult the dentist as soon as possible if you have any dental symptoms and do not use so-called folk remedies to avoid aggravating teeth injuries.
5. How long should I change it if I use it? Doctors reveal the correct brushing method for toothbrush
It is of course to save money if you don’t change it for too long? Beware of major problems in saving money and mouth health! In addition to the average three months of replacement, it is recommended to replace the brush head as early as possible if the bristles of the electric toothbrush have obvious cracks. Whether it is a general toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, it is not recommended to continue using the bristles after bifurcation. The strength and method of brushing teeth in Chinese people are generally not correct enough, which may cause damage to teeth and gums.
Many people brush their teeth too hard, or the bristles they use are too hard, which can easily cause gum damage. Some people think that they must brush until they have some bleeding to clean, which is a completely wrong concept of dental health! In fact, the correct brushing method can refer to the modified Belle brushing method:
(I) The bristles are leaning at 45 degrees to the junction of the teeth and gums.
(II) After the toothbrush is positioned, move gently horizontally, brushing 2-3 teeth at a time.
(III) Each set of teeth brushes is about 10 times, and the last few times rotate towards the occlusal surface.
(IV) Remember to brush the inner side of the front teeth and brush the toothbrush straight against the gums.
