People with bad teeth are just not as good as others? Much more serious than this, teeth are related to overall health.
middle-aged people have bad teeth, be careful of the "cancer king" looking for
On October 22, a research team led by Professor Ye Weimin, Vice President of Fujian Medical University, and others published an important research result in the British Cancer Journal, confirming the relationship between oral health and the risk of pancreatic cancer.
This study found that among people under 50 years of age, mild tooth inflammation ( gingivitis , pericoritis, stomatitis and mucositis) and periodontitis patients have a higher risk of pancreatic cancer (35% and 56% higher respectively), among people aged 50 to 70, periodontitis is the high-risk factor, while for patients older than 70 years old, there is no significant correlation between the risk of pancreatic cancer. The researchers also found that teeth defects increase the risk of pancreatic cancer regardless of age.
Researchers analyzed that it may be related to oral pathogens. On the one hand, in addition to inducing tooth inflammation and causing tooth loss, some periodontal pathogens can also enter the digestive tract and promote the development of pancreatic cancer by swallowing; on the other hand, periodontal pathogens may also produce carcinogens such as nitrosamine , and release carcinogenic metabolites, enter the circulatory system through damaged periodontal tissue through the oral-blood/lymph axis, or enter the digestive system through the oral-intestinal axis through saliva. ①
Therefore, don’t underestimate this tooth. Protecting your teeth can keep you away from cancer.

A good tooth is related to the whole body's health
There are inseparable connections between teeth and multiple important organs in the whole body.
. People with poor periodontal periodontality are more susceptible to injury
"The sum of the surface area of infected periodontal tissue in a patient with moderate periodontitis is equivalent to the size of the palm of the hand of an adult!" Lv Yalin, chief physician of the Department of Dental, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, said in an interview with Health Times in 2015 that periodontal pathogenic bacteria can act on the cardiovascular system by promoting the formation of atherosclerosis.
study found that periodontal pathogenic bacteria can be detected in coronary artery plaques and carotid artery plaques . The medical community generally regards periodontal disease as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. ②
. People with poor teeth are more likely to be affected by the stomach
"The human body's digestive system starts from the mouth, and teeth can tear and grind food. If the teeth are not good, it is easy to 'swallow' and increase the burden on the stomach. This will cause weakness in chewing, resulting in dental caries . Periodontitis and other diseases also cause vicious cycles. "
Chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Li Bo in an interview with the Health Times in 2015, said that some digestive enzymes in the mouth have not had time to mix them with food, which not only increases the burden on the stomach, but also makes it easy to experience gastroesophageal reflux if you don’t have time to mix well with food. This is very harmful to the health of the stomach. In addition, if there are tooth decay in the mouth, the breeding anaerobic bacteria can easily enter the stomach along the esophagus, causing stomach infection. ②
3. People with bad teeth often have bad bones
Good or bad teeth also reflect the condition of the bones in the body.
"Some patients have a lot of teeth falling off in their thirties and forties. They are neither tooth decay nor other dental diseases. In this case, they are recommended to check the bones." Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine Zhong Li, the attending physician of orthopedics, said in an interview with the Health Times in 2015 that this may be due to the deposition of minerals in the body, resulting in poor quality of calcium and phosphorus in the teeth, and the quality of the teeth can reflect that the structure of the bones is not very good.
A considerable number of people have had teeth falling apart some time before they were diagnosed with osteoporosis .If these patients can pay attention to the bones when their teeth become loose, they will not cause serious consequences such as fractures. ②
4. People with poor teeth are more likely to suffer from infectious diseases
The child has not withdrawn deciduous teeth , and the parents do not take it seriously, but the child is diagnosed with dental inflammation nephritis .
, Chief Physician of the Department of Nephrology of Peking University People's Hospital, Gan Liangying introduced in an interview with the Health Times in 2015 that nephritis and kidney diseases caused by some common infections, including dental infections, are not a minority. Common kidney diseases in clinical practice can be induced by some infection factors including dental infection, skin infection, respiratory infection, , and urinary tract infection.
-3 weeks after acute infection in children, the incidence of acute nephritis is higher than that in adults. Parents are reminded that once the child develops tooth decay or periodontal inflammation, cold, fever or even some skin infections, they should pay attention to observing the urination and detect possible kidney diseases as soon as possible. ②. Adolescent: Prevent tooth decay and wisdom teethProtect your teeth, listen to these words
Zhejiang Hospital Dental physician Pan Yanjie published an article in the Health Times in 2018: The focus of teeth protection in different age groups is different. ③
. Early childhood: Prevent dental caries(1) Eat less sugar. is not only sugar, but also snacks such as biscuits and sugary drinks may also cause caries, so it is better to eat less.
(2) Do a deciduous tooth application to prevent deciduous tooth deciduous tooth. After the child's teeth grow, apply a layer of fluorine protective film on it, just like wearing a protective clothing on the teeth, which can prevent tooth decay.
(3) Do the fuse sealing. Sixth-instar teeth are the most important teeth that bear the chewing function. Because they erupt early, if you do not pay attention to protection, they are prone to caries and , so they are the main targets for foil and fuse sealing. Usually, six-year teeth completely erupt between 8 and 9 years old, which is the best age for closure.
(1) Premature treatment for tooth decay. If there is a hole in the teeth, repair it as soon as possible; if it is delayed for a long time, the big hole can no longer be repaired, you can dig the nerves and put a porcelain crown; this will not work in a few years, so you can only extract the teeth.
(2) Wisdom teeth are crooked and removed in time, and teeth are agitated as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the best time for orthodontic treatment is around 12 years old. At this time, tooth replacement has been completed, the correction effect is good, and the course of treatment is relatively short. If there are bone problems that affect growth and development and malignant jaw deformities that hinder the normal function of the jaw and facial features, such as earth-blocking and lip biting, early intervention is required (3 to 5 years old).
3. Middle-aged and young people: Prevent periodontal disease
If you are over 45 years old, frequent smokers, pregnant women, diabetes patients, and those who do not like to brush their teeth, you are more likely to suffer from periodontal disease and need to pay more attention.
(1) Regular teeth cleaning 1 to 2 times a year. An important task of teeth cleaning is to remove tartar. The long-term accumulation of tartar will make the teeth wider and the teeth will even loosen. When tartars appear, they should be removed as soon as possible. It is generally recommended to wash teeth twice a year.
(2) Treat periodontal disease in a timely manner. If there is bleeding in brushing, loose teeth, and overflow of pus, you may suffer from periodontal disease and must be prevented and treated early.
4. Elderly people: If teeth are missing, they should be filled in time. If teeth are missing, they should be filled in time. If a tooth falls off and cannot be filled in time, the integrity of the tooth will be damaged. Over time, adjacent teeth will lose their support because of uneven chewing force, slowly moving closer and tilting towards the middle, and finally loosen and fall out. Eventually, one tooth is missing, causing one side of the tooth to fall off, and finally all the mouth is lost.
(2) Don’t bear toothache, see a doctor. Toothache is mostly caused by inflammation or infection, and one tooth is infected and the whole body is injured! There are inseparable connections between the teeth and many important organs in the body. You must not be careless and see a doctor in time!
