Your smile can be your best cover letter, so you must take
care of it as it deserves. But how are dental problems solved at different
stages of life? We tell you all you needs to know. techqueer
The World Health Organization emphasizes that oral health is
essential for the good health and well-being of the general population and,
therefore, a preventive approach is needed. By now, we all know that a smile
can be the best cover letter and should be taken care of at all stages of life.
Also, did you know that your oral health offers clues to
your overall health or that oral glitches can affect the rest of your body?
Without good oral hygiene at all stages of life, bacteria can lead to oral
infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease. In fact, the relationship
between general health and oral health is two-way: people with weakened immune
systems are more likely to have advanced levels of oral infections, while
certain diseases (for example, gastrointestinal) also affect oral health.
To keep the smile in optimal condition, in addition to home
care, regular medical check-ups with our dentist and diagnostic tests that rule
out any hidden pathology will be essential. Dental insurance is the perfect
tool for those who care about taking care of their oral health: they prevent
any type of disease and, in addition, represent a saving in the cost of
patients at the dentist. Trust a team of professionals to take care of your
smile and yours today with Sanitas dental insurance. smarttechnofy
How to take care of your teeth throughout gestation
According to the latest Spanish oral health study carried
out by Sanitas, 74.5% of the pregnant women who participated in the study are
very or somewhat concerned about the state of their oral health. In fact,
during the last year, the most cited reasons for visiting the dentist were
dental cleaning (67.5%), routine exams (34.3%) and cavities (24%). There are
fewer and fewer pregnant women who go to the dentist only when they have a
problem (11.1%). The reason for not showing up is fear (15.7%). Brushing is
still a routine oral hygiene habit, and 99.3% do it daily. There is a
significant 29.2% improvement in flossing once a day. smoothtechi
But can we go to the dentist during pregnancy? Not only can
it be, but it is due, because the treatments that a qualified dentist could
apply to a pregnant woman, if needed, do not pose any danger because it will be
necessary to take into account not to use medications that can affect the
formation of fetal organs, particularly during the first trimester of gestation.
In fact, it is recommended not to wait until the end of pregnancy to go to the
dentist.
Pregnancy is a risky period for dental health, as there is a
greater propensity to have problems. Sanitas experts point out that more than
half of pregnant women are affected by gingivitis due to the hormonal changes
that occur. This increases blood flow to the gums, facilitating redness and
swelling and subsequent bleeding when brushing your teeth. mucommucation
Gingivitis is the infection and irritation of the
periodontal tissue: dentists call it the structures that surround the tooth.
They designate the gums, but also the periodontal ligaments and the alveolar
hollows, places of insertion of the teeth. If left raw, gingivitis can progress
to more serious forms of periodontal disease, such as periodontitis or
"pyorrhea." These chronic diseases destroy the tissues that support
the tooth and can cause tooth loss. But this disease can be prevented. In fact,
the cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of tartar and bacterial plaque.
Plaques are colonies of microorganisms that inhabit our mouths. When plaque
mineralizes, we call it tartar. As if that were not enough, this periodontal
disease is associated with a risk of premature delivery and low birth mass of
the baby. appleinfocom
If not removed by mouth cleaning, plaque and tartar bacteria
can invade the surrounding tissues. computerlg
