Your dental health is more important than you think
The
millions and billions of bacteria and other microscopic critters in our mouth
influence not only the health of our teeth and gums. They can also cause
problems for your heart and blood vessels. Improving oral health prevents
cardiovascular problems.
This is
something that Harvard Heart Letter (2007) means is difficult to prove even if
it is a fact. There are scientists who have found several mechanisms that may connect the two
processes. In people with periodontitis (erosion of tissue and bone that
support the teeth), chewing and toothbrushing release bacteria into the
bloodstream.
“Oral bacteria could
also harm blood vessels and even cause
blood clots by releasing toxins that resemble proteins found in artery walls or
the bloodstream. The immune system's response to these toxins could harm vessel
walls or make blood clot more easily. It is also possible that inflammation in
the mouth revs up inflammation throughout the body, including in the arteries,
where it can lead to heart attack and stroke” (.http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/heart-disease-oral-health).
There are several studies that show how your dental
healt can be very important when preventing coronary heart disease. There is a
study where the researchers tried to examine the role of chronic bacterial
infections as risk factors for the disease the association between poor dental
health and acute myocardial infarction. Two separate case-control studies of a total
of 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 102 controls selected from
the community at random were investigated.
Dental
health was graded by using two indexes, one of which was assessed blind. Based
on these indexes dental health was significantly worse in patients with acute
myocardial infarction than in controls. The association remained valid after
adjustment for age, social class, smoking, serum lipid concentrations and the
presence of diabetes (Kimmo J Mattila, Markku S Nieminen, Ville V Valtonen, Vesa
P Rasi, Y Antero Kesaniemi, Satu L Syrjala, Peter S Jungell, Martti Isoluoma,
Katariina Hietaniemi, Matti J Jokinen,Jussi K Huttunen. 1989).
This means
that it has been known since a long time that your dental health is not only
about the health of your mouth but it can lead to serious problems with your
heart and actually kill you.
This sounds
quite scaring, can bacteria in my mouth lead to heart attack and stroke? The answer
is yes, it can.
It is time
to take your dental health seriously and not only brush your teeth because your
mother told you to do it every morning and every evening. Believe me; this can
save your life!
You can of
course use your usual toothbrush but actually there are better choices like Emmi-Dent ultrasonic
You can compare the
conventional cleaning and Emmi-Dent ultrasonic and you get the following
results:
1. Conventional cleaning
* manually, electric / acoustic
Cleaning by mechanical grinding using abrasive substances
within toothpaste (RDA value: 70-130) => high risk by damaging gum &
tooth enamel.
Mechanical revolutions (30 to 35,000 rev / min.) => unpleasant
friction.
Cleans where the bristles end up and where they can abrade.
Usually still other necessaries and tools, such as
dental floss, interdental brushes, irrigator and more.
Dental care only in areas that are accessible to
the toothbrush (surface) => no cleaning of deeper lying tissues, regular
dental visits for prophylaxis necessary => high costs.
No therapeutic effect.
2. Emmi-Dent ultrasonic dental hygiene
* 100% ultrasonic
Motionless cleaning (no brushes, less gum
irritation).
No abrasive particles (RDA value 0).
No gum and tooth enamel damage.
Up to 96 million oscillations per minute (pleasant
micro-massage).
Purifies by implosion of micro-bubbles even the
smallest cavities, fissures and gingival pockets.
Lightens discolorations caused by wine, nicotine
and food; gradually.
Ultra Clean - rarely extra tools needed.
Perfect care for the whole dentition, gingival
pockets trapped; eliminates bacteria up to 12mm deep in the tissue and protects
also implants.
Therapeutic effect within a few days, even in
advanced, acute cases (for example - inflammatory and aphthae).
Note:
"Do not be confused by large advertising
budgets of so called big and well-known companies: A sonic toothbrush does NOT
use ultrasonic! As the comparison shows, there are fundamental differences. ”Be
