Cleaning our teeth regularly, cleaning the spaces between our gums from bacteria with interdental brushes, removing all bacteria by scraping our tongue with special tongue scrapers, all of these are one of the easiest ways to keep our immune system, veins and hearts young and to protect ourselves from diseases.
Gum diseases have been associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, pregnancy, chronic respiratory diseases in the literature, and in addition to these main topics, it has been shown that there is a connection between cancer, chronic kidney diseases, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal infection.
PERIODONTAL INFECTION - CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. .
Periodontal diseases are low-density abscessed or non-abscessed germ-free inflammations in the gums and surrounding tissues, which we call periodontal tissues. We can also call these inflammations or inflammation. Chronic inflammations resulting from chronic periodontitis settle in the endothelial cells, which are the inner walls of our vessels, through bacteremia, and over time, the vessels become infected. As the blood clogs, it creates turbulences, that is, vortexes, to move forward, and the small holes opened by these become clogged with plaques, the diameter of the vessels narrows, blood clots and a heart attack occurs.
PERIODONTAL INFECTION - DIABETES. .
Vascular disorders observed in diabetes may cause periodontitis of patients. Al infections make them prone to bone destruction. In response to chronic infection, insulin resistance develops, inadequate glycemic control, and the glycemic situation worsens with periodontitis. .
PERIODONTAL INFECTION - RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DISEASES. .
Evidence in the literature has shown that periodontal bacteria may be effective in the initiation and progression of pulmonary infections. We see very few people around us who say, "I am solid as a rock."
The inflammatory trigger caused by the infection in our gums that we are not aware of, ages and corrodes our cells faster, leaves us weak, tired, and without energy, and hinders the repair and self-renewal capacity of our cells.

Result: Earlier chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, atherosclerosis, pharyngitis, sinusitis attacks, eczema, recurrent aphthous ulcers, gas, diarrhea, constipation attacks.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Paying personal importance to epilepsy care, not ignoring gingival bleeding, inflammation and bad breath&nb sp; Having our gums taken care of at least a year prevents not only gum disease but also heart attacks. It is of great importance in protecting us from many diseases.
I wish you healthy days.
