DIFFERENT HEALTH PROBLEMS GUM DISEASE CAN CAUSE

Gum disease is a condition caused by Tartar and plaque that accumulates around the tooth and affects our gums. Turkey Medicals member and Dentist in Antalya, who stated that gum diseases can also cause different health problems, shared important information on this issue.

Most of the time, we notice discomfort in our gums as a result of bleeding that occurs when brushing teeth, and so we go to the dentist. However, our gum health is directly related to our overall health. Because as a result of bleeding in the gums, bacteria in the tooth stone can seep into our bloodstream through bleeding capillaries and lead to serious health problems. Fixing your gum health is actually as simple as going for regular dentist checks, brushing your teeth, flossing and paying attention to your diet.

WHY IS ORAL HYGIENE IMPORTANT?

Postponing your dentist appointment in Turkey, forgetting to floss, and consuming too much sugar can negatively affect your gum health. That’s why it’s important to know the potential consequences of neglecting your oral hygiene.

If you learned that your gum disease spreads infection and causes other complications in your body, wouldn’t you be more likely to treat it? Preventing gum disease can have a serious positive effect on your health. Recent studies have shown that gum disease can actually raise your blood pressure. In fact, a study in Turkey showed that patients with gum disease were 49 per cent more likely to have high blood pressure. Further studies showed a decrease in high blood pressure ranges after gum disease was treated.

This link suggests that the health of your gums is closely related to your overall health. Periodontists and gum disease can cause bacteria to accumulate in the gums, which can lead to pain, bleeding and further complications. When these bacteria accumulate around the teeth and gums, they begin to spread to other parts of the body. Scientific studies have shown that this inflammation increases blood pressure. Sometimes this increase may even be a sufficient indicator of a patient’s diagnosis of high blood pressure.
