Of course, every person would like to have notnot only an attractive appearance, a beautiful figure, but also a charming smile. How nice it is to look at someone who smiles charmingly, and does not frown with displeasure. A smiling person wants to respond with the same kind and sweet smile. But, unfortunately, not each of us can afford to smile, as they say, with all his mouth. And the reason for this is the poor condition of the teeth. Today we will talk about periodontosis, a sluggish disease that gradually destroys the peridental tissue. And this process leads to gum recession and exposure of the necks of the teeth, although the teeth themselves are well fixed. So, let's consider the signs that characterize the disease itself:
- a small amount of dental plaque;
- itching in the gums.
- the neck of the tooth is slightly exposed.
- odor from the mouth is minimal.
- with severe form of periodontal disease occursimpaired mobility of the teeth, as the roots are exposed to ½ and more. But there is no purulent discharge and gingival pockets, bleeding and inflammation of the gums is not observed.
Until now, medicine cannot say for surethe cause of the disease, but the fact is that heredity and a number of diseases that contribute to the onset of periodontosis play a huge role in this! Diabetes mellitus, disorders of the endocrine glands, diseases of the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract, as well as chronic diseases of some internal organs - this is the first cause of periodontosis. The initial stage of periodontosis development occurs inside, under the gum. Inflammation destroys bone tissue, gradually the gums become thin and fragile, and therefore seem to settle, or drop. At the same time, the root of the tooth is exposed, which is why increased sensitivity of teeth to temperature changes appears. Erosion of tooth enamel is also visible, since its color is changed. And if you do not respond to all these signs, then, ultimately, you can lose one or even several teeth. In order to avoid being diagnosed with "periodontosis" in our lives, you need to:
- observe hygiene of the oral cavity;
- to give up smoking;
- from excessive coffee consumption;
- pay attention to their food.
Prevention of periodontosis is a well-thought-outnutrition, which should include more fresh vegetables and fruits. It is advisable to include as few sweets as possible in your diet, but eat fruits and vegetables more often, especially those that simultaneously clean and massage the gums, such as carrots, apples, mangoes, etc. Dental gymnastics is a very good preventive measure for strengthening the gums and the teeth themselves:
- tear off a sprig of fir and bite it (at first very carefully) for two weeks, daily;
- clutching the fir branch with front teeth, make jaw movements alternately - forward back, right-to-left. Exercise takes three weeks;
- we firmly hold one side of the branch in the teeth, the other in the hand and pull our teeth, as if trying to tear off a part of the branch.
“What does this gymnastics give us?", - you ask. And the answer is very simple: when biting pine needles, juice is released, which actively penetrates into the blood and, including, into the tooth tissue. Its healing components provide a therapeutic and preventive effect. In the process of chewing a pine branch, the jaw muscles tense, thereby creating a blood flow to the salivary glands, gums and teeth.
