The harm of periodontal disease

summary

Periodontal disease is not as simple as toothache. Maybe your face will be destroyed. My uncle has suffered from periodontal disease for many years and has never taken it seriously. Occasionally, he has gingival bleeding symptoms. But recently, his stomach is always uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said it was chronic gastritis caused by periodontitis. Fortunately, it was found in time. After treatment, my uncle's periodontitis was cured and his gastritis was cured It's getting better. Let's take a look at the following.

The harm of periodontal disease

First: most people think that periodontal disease is just a small disease of teeth, but they don't know that periodontal disease can induce many disease attacks of patients themselves, including heart disease and stroke. When patients suffer from periodontitis, it will lead to infected bacteria in the periodontal part to enter the blood, leading to the deepening of virus in the blood, arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and other symptoms, aggravating the disease.

Second: for pregnant women with periodontitis, the probability of premature birth is much higher than that of natural birth. As periodontal bacteria enter the blood, it will indirectly affect the absorption of nutrients by the fetus, leading to its slow development.

Third: because periodontitis patients have more bacteria around their teeth than normal people, it will cause some pathogenic bacteria to enter the respiratory tract and digestive tract. If periodontitis patients have poor physical resistance, they will be infected, leading to chronic gastritis, pneumonia and other serious diseases.
