Scientists are discovering more And more about the health of our body and the connections between health.
If Our eyes are the windows to our soul our mouth is your door to our body and the teeth are the windows to our health, according to evidence that indicates there’s a connection between them. That is something I have been saying as a dentist for several years.
If The scientists are right – and the evidence is becoming difficult to dismiss our health can play a role in our risk of stroke cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even a child’s health. And this could be the tip of the iceberg.
There’s A good deal of research out there in the moment attempting to concentrate on the connections between oral health and overall wellbeing in both directions – poor oral health affecting general health and poor overall health affecting oral health, says Dr Matthew Hopcraft, president of the Australian Dental Association Victorian Branch Inc..
It is Not surprising. The body is connected, but for medication and this a long time individuals have believed as being a part of the body and that dentists operate in isolation. That clearly does not make any sense anymore, anatomically or physiologically as the teeth and mouth are a part of you and are joined to the body by a huge variety of blood vessels and nerve supply, and all our meals and drinks enter the body through the mouth.
Oral Health and Heart Disease
It Appears that in the presence of inflammation in the kind of gum disease, and poor health, increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. A research found that it was more in teeth, and the bacteria found in the mouth. The group managed to find T cells that are reactive to bacteria in people’s arteries with atherosclerosis, where a build-up of fatty deposits causes damage to the arteries.
Finding Oral bacteria within coronary arteries in people with heart disease is not something you’d expect to find but germs from the mouth sitting at a blood vessel in the heart suggests that this is where the connection between gum disease and heart disease is coming from. Since the mouth acts as a sort of portal, allowing bacteria to travel throughout the bloodstream to other areas of the body particularly in a individual who has gum disease as the blood vessels become more bloated and much more permeable, and more inclined to allow bacteria or bacterial toxins in the infected teeth to the bloodstream where they travel to other areas of the body.
