Research has shown that taking care of your teeth can save
your life. Not quite metaphorically, it literally acts as a caution against
major diseases thus taking the first step towards saving your life. The bacteria in the teeth and unhealthy gums
can cause platelets in the blood to form clots which in extreme cases could
result in a heart attack or stroke. Generally the most commonly ignored
symptoms to some of the diseases, build slowly and steadily in the mouth.
So here’s are some signs that our dentists at Dentists in
Mumbai ask patients to watch out for, read on to find out what they are and how
you can save yourself before it’s too late:
Pale teeth
and bleeding gums:
While this comes across as very easily ignored common
phenomena among most adults, it can be an indication towards greater health
problems. This can be an indicator of blood disorders. Starting to floss daily
and brushing twice a day is the simplest way to deal with bleeding gums and
pale teeth and transform them into strong gums and healthy teeth.
Frozen jaw:
In lay man terms a frozen jaw is when your jaw gets stuck
while you are eating or talking or doing anything else. Sometimes this could
cause bone loss in the lower jaw. This bone loss could be an early indicator of
skeletal osteoporosis. Basic exercises of the jaw help with a frozen jaw. A
frozen jaw might also occur because of a small jaw in which case you could opt
for an extraction and restructuring treatments for your teeth to give space to
new teeth.
Inflammation
in the mouth:
This is less of an indicator and more of a direct cause for
various digestive and intestinal diseases. Inflammation in the mouth secretes
certain enzymes that corrode or spoil the food we eat and thus cause stomach
disorders. It is also coupled with fever sometimes. Consult with a dentist when
this occurs and they might prescribe over the counter creams or tablets which
would temporarily sooth the inflammation and improve dental health.
Other
diseases:
There are certain diseases that cause severe oral health
issues. Diabetes and Cancer deteriorate oral conditions and cause severe gum
problems and a degradation of the overall health of the teeth and mouth. AIDS
also is another such disease. Not only does it cause bad dental health and
severe dental problems but AIDs itself can also be caused by oral infections.
Most diseases that are caused or are the cause of various
other diseases, start in the mouth. So
it is very important to consult an experienced and skilled dentist as soon as
you notice any dental health issue as it might just be your body communicating
other larger health concerns to you. Your mouth could be your personal health
indicator as long as you are alert and learn to heed the signs. If you notice
any of these signs call and book an appointment with Dentists in Mumbai today and
put all your worries to rest.
