On the occasion of 22 November Dentists' Day and Oral and Dental Health Week, PeriodontologDr.Med.Dent. Laçin Berber drew attention to the importance of dental and oral health. "However, deterioration of oral and dental health also affects other organs in the body. Research shows that people with gum diseases are more likely to suffer from head and neck, lung, kidney, pancreatic and blood cancer," he said.
PeriodontologistDr. .Med.Dent. Laçin Berber said, ''Those who have gum disease have an increased risk of developing some types of cancer.'' It was found to be 14 percent more. Research has stated that gum diseases show that the immune system is weak, and a weak immune system increases the risk of cancer. Providing information on the subject, Berber said, "Over the last 20 years, research has been conducted examining the relationship between advanced gum diseases and systemic diseases, and although it is not certain, periodontal infections can cause diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, Alzheimer's, lung diseases, some types of cancer, kidney diseases, erectile dysfunction." and found scientific evidence that it is an independent risk factor for low birth weight. "The fact that these diseases are more common among the elderly shows that the relationship between oral diseases and systemic chronic diseases needs to be better understood. A healthy life depends on healthy teeth. Early diagnosis and treatment of dental and gum diseases are of great importance at this point," he said.
Bleeding in the gums is a sign of disease!
Periodontologist (Gum Diseases and Surgery Specialist) Dr.Med.Dent. Laçin Berber draws attention to gum diseases, which affect almost everyone after the age of 30, are extremely insidious, and are the most important cause of tooth loss, and said, "Gum diseases are diseases that support the gums and teeth." These are infectious diseases that affect tissues. Studies show that the majority of tooth losses are caused by gum diseases. The layer defined as 'microbial dental plaque' (MDP), which contains millions of bacteria stuck to the surfaces in the mouth, is the main cause of gum diseases. Research to date shows that there may be more than 500 different bacterial species within MDP. These bacteria can directly or indirectly affect the body's defense mechanism and cause destruction in the bone tissue that supports the gums and teeth. Teeth with weakened bone tissue, even if they are healthy, shake and fall out. Gum diseases usually do not show symptoms until they reach advanced stages. The first symptom is bleeding. If there is spontaneous bleeding, the problem may have progressed.
To mention the findings that appear in untreated and advanced gum disease
·A constant bad odor in the mouth
·Bleeding gums while brushing
·Swelling, redness and sensitivity in the gums
·Recession in the gums
·Shaking of the teeth, gaps between the teeth
·Inflammation between the tooth and the gum
·Differences in the contact between the teeth while biting.
The most important duty of periodontologists is to protect the gum health and protect the teeth for many years. ensuring that it stays in the mouth. If a problem occurs in the teeth and periodontal tissue despite the preventive measures, the first treatment is to save the periodontal tissue from the disease. All restorative applications should be built on an inflammation-free, periodontal healthy foundation. Gain years of healthy life to spend with your loved ones by taking care of your gum health.
