The definition of oral health by the World Health Organization is: clean teeth, no caries, no pain, normal gum color and no bleeding. The living standard of Chinese people has been improving in the past few decades, but the oral health of Chinese people has continued to decline due to the change of dietary structure and habits. According to the data from the third national oral health epidemiological survey report, the caries rate of deciduous teeth in 5-year-old children is 66%, and the caries rate of permanent teeth in 12-year-old children is also 29%; The prevalence of caries in the population aged 35 ~ 44 in China is 88.1%, and the number of caries is 4.5; Among the caries, the constituent ratios of caries, loss and supplement were 34.0%, 57.6% and 8.4% respectively (that is, only 8.4% of caries were treated). The periodontal health rate of all age groups in China is about 14%. 37.0% of the population aged 35-44 had tooth loss, and the denture repair rate was only 11.6%; In China, 86.1% of the elderly aged 65 ~ 74 have tooth loss, and the denture repair rate is only 42.6%.
Many people don't pay enough attention to oral health at ordinary times. However, as the opening of the digestive system, the oral cavity undertakes important tasks, in which teeth are the main structure. In case of disease or even loss, it will have many adverse effects on health.
Sensitive and diseased teeth will feel pain and discomfort when encountering cold, heat, acid and other stimuli, which will hinder eating and sleep; After the further development of dental caries and the invasion of dental pulp, the pain is unbearable. In severe cases, there will be gum and facial swelling, which will affect the health of the body. On the other hand, after missing teeth, they can't chew fully, reduce gastric juice secretion and slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, which aggravates the burden of gastrointestinal tract, affects the absorption of nutrition and leads to diseases.
The angle of the front teeth of the face, especially the front teeth, ensures the existence of fullness of the mouth. Once these teeth are missing, the lip and cheek lose support and flatten and collapse, the nasolabial groove deepens, the distance under the face is shortened by 1 / 3, and the wrinkles increase, which makes them even older. When pronouncing, due to air leakage and abnormal air flow, lip and tongue can not be clearly expressed.
It can be seen that maintaining oral health plays an important role in the overall health of body and mind. Of course, dental health problems do not happen overnight, so the solution also needs to be improved from life. The first step you need to do is to choose an effective oral care product.
