WHAT ARE THE COMMON RISK FACTORS FOR ORAL HEALTH?
The mouth signals health problems, serves as a window to the rest of the body. When the immune system is affected by illness or medical treatments, bacteria from the mouth can cause infection in other parts of the body.
Oral health is important for overall health and happiness at all stages of life. A healthy mouth; it not only allows us to eat physically, but also positively affects our social life and supports feelings of self-esteem, happiness and health. The mouth serves as a window to the rest of the body, giving signals of general health problems.
.
For example, mouth sores; may be the first signs of HIV infection, aphthous ulcers; sometimes they are a manifestation of celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, pale in color and bleeding gums; it can be a symptom for blood diseases, bone loss, which is in the lower jaw; an early indicator is acceptable.
.
It may indicate that skeletal osteoporosis and changes in the appearance of teeth are bulimia or anorexia. The presence of many compounds in the body (for example, alcohol, nicotine, opiates, drugs, hormones, environmental toxins, antibodies) can also be detected in saliva.
.
IT HAS AN EFFECT ON THE DISEASE
The condition of the mouth has an impact on overall health and disease. Bacteria from the mouth can cause infection in other parts of the body when the immune system is affected by illness or medical treatment. It is known that systemic conditions and their treatment have an effect on oral health (for example, decreased saliva flow, altered balance of oral microorganisms).
Gum disease has been associated with a number of systemic conditions. Biological interactions between oral conditions such as gum disease and other medical conditions is still not fully understood, although so major chronic diseases-from cancer and heart disease have common risk factors, it is clear that disease of the oral cavity.
Recognizing that oral health and general health interact with each other is necessary to determine appropriate oral health programs and strategies at both the personal and community care levels. The integration of oral health into holistic general health policies and the adoption of a common risk factor approach for the promotion of oral health emphasize the importance of keeping the mouth and body in harmony with each other.
.
THE FOCUS IS ON THE CARE OF THE GUMS
Improving oral health is focused on the care of teeth and gums, unlike other health planning. The common risk factor approach to health promotion has a broader perspective and targets common risk factors for many chronic conditions and the social factors underlying them. The basic concept of this approach, public health risks and their underlying social factors isolated against concerted practices, disease-specific approaches that will provide more effective and efficient improvement in a number of chronic health conditions.
.
COMMON RISK FACTORS
Adopting a common risk factor approach is more effective than a targeted disease-specific approach:
Most chronic diseases have more than one risk factor.
One risk factor can have an effect on several diseases.
Risk factors -in some cases synergistically- are in contact with each other.
The common risk factor approach provides a rationale for developing healthy multi-dectoral agreements between health professionals, legal, voluntary and commercial institutions, and the general public. He recognizes that permanent changes in individual lifestyle behaviors require supportive social, economic and political environments. Oral disease is the most common chronic disease, although it is highly preventable. The common risk factors for oral disease and other chronic diseases can be listed as follows:
Diet,
Tobacco use/chewing,
Alcohol consumption,
Cleaning,
Injuries.
.
NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL DEGENERATION
There is no doubt that our nutrition changes the natural health of our teeth and body and is the cause of almost all of our health problems. If you eat properly and maintain your health at the best level, caries is unlikely to occur. Bruises really only appear when you eat the wrong foods and they develop.
.
TRADITIONAL BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY
Unfortunately, traditional dentistry often evaluates the materials to be used for their mechanical properties, largely ignoring the effect that the particular material will have on the rest of your body. At the moment, as in other European countries, they are fighting to make mercury fillings that are completely filled in the USA, and we hope that this poisonous material will be able to be withdrawn from the market in the near future.
Until then, it’s up to you to refuse mercury fillings or find a dentist who chooses safer options. In summary, biological dentistry considers teeth and gums as a whole part of your entire body, and all medical treatments take this fact into account. The main goal of this type of holistic dentistry in Turkey is to solve your dental problems by affecting the rest of your body as little as possible.

Turkey Medicals – do not forget that your health can be significantly affected by treatments taken at your traditional Turkish dentist’s office. Most often, the effect is not immediately noticeable.
