HOW IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DECAYED TEETH AND EXCESS WEIGHT GAIN?

Many different conditions, from carious teeth to inflammation in the mouth, can lead to excess weight gain. In addition, oral dental health, such as the question ‘does the chicken hatch, is the egg from the chicken’, leads to excess weight gain, while the excess weight gained can also cause oral and dental health to deteriorate.

Turkey Medicals, “Digestion begins by mouth. In cases where chewing cannot be done enough due to lack of teeth or caries, foods cannot be broken down enough in the mouth. A bite needs to be chewed at least 20 times for a healthy digestive start by breaking down the food in the mouth. Especially in elderly people and diabetes patients, there may be disturbances in the chewing function. For reasons such as a decrease in the number of teeth with age or the fact that the prostheses made are not compatible enough, the chewing function cannot be performed. In this case, the person’s food preference is soft, easily chewable foods with a high level of carbohydrates.” was said.

“Meat that is rich in protein, chicken or fibrous vegetables and fruits that require chewing are replaced by carbohydrates that can be softened and swallowed with saliva,” iHealth said. It is much more difficult for a patient of advanced age or with diabetes to consume a bowl of chicken green salad if the chewing function is not enough than to consume a porridges,” was said.

IF YOUR CHILD HAS CARIOUS TEETH

One of factors that cause the formation of caries is excessive consumption of carbohydrates. The high consumption of sticky, sugary, starchy products leads to an increase in caries. Decaying teeth cause pain and can not play an active role in the digestive process. In the presence of rocking baby teeth and/or painful rotten teeth, children tend to eat carbohydrate and sugary foods that are more easily chewed than consume hard healthy foods. In the struggle with obesity have decayed to the teeth of children away from sugary foods, keeping attention to oral hygiene, and regular dental check General to develop the habit of brushing for the protection of Health is becoming important.

INFLAMMATION IN THE MOUTH IS A GREAT DANGER

The formation of pus, i.e., inflammation, obesity, diabetes and oral health is a big part of the interaction between stated that, “Your body’s immune response in inflammatory proteins are important signals, such as gum disease, is a chronic infection therefore, your body secretes a lot more inflammatory compound. These prevent some important hormones from functioning, such as leptin, which helps our body regulate energy use and weight loss. Food is stored as fat, without turning into energy.”
.

But this is only one side of the coin. On the other side, the formed fat cells also secrete inflammatory proteins at the same time. These proteins also cause weight gain, as well as accelerate the immune response to bacteria in the mouth, leading to a deterioration in oral health. Therefore, due to excess of adipose tissue in obese people, oral health is also negatively affected.

GUM DISEASE MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO EXERCISE

Gum diseases reduce the energy that a person will spend on movement. “We can think of gum diseases as colds or flu that never go away, that is, it is a chronic infection. When you try to exercise with the flu or a cold, you will notice that you get tired very quickly. In the presence of gum disease, the situation is the same, moreover, you experience it every day. Inflammation of the gums can contribute to chronic fatigue, making it difficult to exercise or maintain,” said Dentist in Antalya, especially in diabetes patients, this condition is more effective. Because diabetes is a factor that increases the risk of gum disease. But again, gum disease also makes diabetes worse. Diabetes is disrupting the way your body processes and uses the energy received through the food. Therefore, even if you eat normally, the person feels sluggish, tired, because the body is not able to convert it into energy. In this case, movement capacity decreases. Again, weight gain becomes easier because it cannot be moved.

.
OBESITY ALSO HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT

Obesity has negative effects on oral and dental health. In studies conducted, a significant increase in gum diseases, which we call caries and gingivitis, has been observed in obese patients. Depending on these, bad breath may also develop in these people. Again, due to reflux seen in the obese people, increased intraoral acidity also increases enamel erosion and abrasion in the teeth, tooth sensitivity may occur. There is also an increase in dry mouth in these people.
