 The basis of overall health, oral health

Dental health is now not just a matter of toothache but also a matter of overall body health.

For two decades, dental health was focused on solving problems such as toothache, mouth swelling, and toothache. But now it has been proven that it is not just a matter of teeth but also a matter of overall body health.

Various studies have found that the first symptoms of about 90 percent of systemic diseases are seen in the mouth. Therefore, dental expertise has now emerged as an important pillar in public health issues.

The measures taken to keep the mouth healthy also play an important role in preventing chronic diseases.

The mouth is a mirror of the health of our entire body and this is not just a saying but a science. Research says that if there are gum diseases, the risk of heart disease is two to three times higher. Systemic diseases are also interconnected with oral health. Those who neglect oral health are at risk of diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's.

Poor oral health can also cause problems in pregnant women. Neglecting oral health can have an impact on various respiratory diseases and other diseases.

For this reason, taking care of oral health not only improves oral health, but also has a positive impact on overall health. Preventive and preventive measures do not have to endure pain and save time and money. Regular consultation with a dentist helps to avoid the risk of physical systemic and chronic diseases. With the technology we have now, dental caries is detected in its early stages using digital technology.

That is why modern public health and preventive dentistry goes beyond tooth extraction, fillings, etc. and also pays attention to early warnings of other health problems. It helps to warn before the disease becomes serious.

How to protect oral health?

1) Examine the entire mouth with digital technology.

2) Get professional dental cleaning, which reduces the risk of gum disease.

3) Adopt treatment methods such as dental restoration, fluoride, sealants, etc.

4) Adopt a healthy lifestyle.

We have all heard that it is better to prevent disease than to get it. But this is only a saying, it has not become a reality in our lives. We only seek health care when the disease reaches its final stage.

In addition, we leave oral health for the last check-up. Therefore, public health and preventive dentistry not only protect against oral diseases, it saves lives as a whole. Let us be aware of oral health today and stay healthy.
