Be alert to the huge harm of gingivitis. The dental hospital pointed out that the acute and chronic inflammatory diseases that usually occur at the gingival margin and gingival papilla are called gingivitis, and the most common people are children and young people. Its main symptoms are bleeding gums, swelling and pain, and bad breath.
Beware of the great danger of gingivitis
1. Pneumonia: Every time people breathe, a large amount of bacteria enters the lungs, causing respiratory diseases. At the same time they live in people’s mouths. The human immune system can destroy them, but when humans are immune-compromised (such as gingivitis), these bacteria will take advantage and may cause bacterial pneumonia.
2. Heart disease: After studying more than 1,000 cases, foreign experts showed that the probability of gingivitis patients suffering from heart disease is 300% of that of normal people. The main reason is that bacteria can enter the blood through the cracks in the gums and affect the liver, causing the heart to A protein that blocks arteries, causing arterial embolism. Exactly how bacteria trigger heart disease is still a mystery, but scientists have identified an oral bacterium in fatty artery embolism; oral bacteria are even more threatening to people who already have heart disease!
3. Stomach ulcer: The same foreign research data shows that the bacteria that cause gastric ulcer reside on dental plaque. The researchers surveyed 242 patients with gastric ulcers, and found the bacteria in the mouths of 210 of them, thus revealing the relationship between oral hygiene and gastric ulcers.
4. FK3: When FK3 patients are attacked by bacteria, insulin cannot work effectively and blood sugar levels will increase. A foreign study of 168 FK3 patients found that those with severe gingivitis had difficulty controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended that people with a family history of FK3 should go to the hospital as soon as possible when their gums are infected to see if they have FK3.
5. Cerebral thrombosis: Foreign authoritative institutions conducted follow-up surveys on 10,000 people between the ages of 25 and 75, and found that those with severe gingivitis had a 200% chance of cerebral thrombosis compared with other groups. Because oral bacteria can cause a fat embolism in the carotid arteries, it can occur if this fat mass travels upstream into the brain and blocks a blood vessel in the gray and white matter.
