Diseases Dental

Most gum disease usually caused by poor dental hygiene. But most people still neglect oral hygiene. Later gum infection can cause inflammation of the gums, the formation of pockets of pus and form plaques much more. The germs of the pockets of pus can spread throughout the body through blood vessels.

"This infection starts in the gums, but ignored. Consequently germs reached the blood circulation and carried by the current," said the professor of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Indonesia, drg.Yudha Rismanto Sp.Perio, in the media conference in Jakarta Gum Problems Solutions, Thursday (2/5).

The impact of the movement of the bacteria depends on the organ where germs bunk. If germs carried by blood flow to the lower body, heart and kidneys can be interrupted.

Similarly, if the seeds carried the upper body, the bacteria can be "trapped" in the membrane that surrounds the brain causing meningitis.

In the world of medicine also called odontegenic infection. Although uncommon, but studies have shown the link between oral health with the development of chronic diseases.

Yudha therefore suggests filling the cavities immediately or routine cleaning of the plate. The teeth, the hole will stop working soon assigned to the bacteria find their way into the blood vessels. while check immediately when gums swollen gums.

"Swelling indicates the presence of infection in the local area of ​​the teeth and gums. However, the duration of the infection depends on the resistance, tolerance, and" nutritional intake per person. The weaker the infection runs faster. Do not take for granted and underestimate the pain signals from the body, "he said.
