Health of gums. Factors that improve gum health.

According to statistics, every second person over thirty years old has problems with gums. People whose age is more than fifty years old, problems with gums are much more common. This is very dangerous, because the condition of the teeth depends on the state of the mucous membrane of the soft tissues in the mouth.

IMPORTANT: One of the causes of tooth loss is gum disease.

There are several types of gum disease:
• Periodontitis;
• Periodontal disease;
• Gingivitis.

The most common gum disease is periodontal disease. In this disease due to tooth deposits the neck of the tooth is exposed. In such a pocket, an inflammatory process starts, which can lead to tooth loss. This can happen in the absence of treatment problems and the development of a more severe form of periodontitis.

IMPORTANT: Periodontitis in the gums develops inflammation, which affects some of the soft tissues in the oral cavity. On the teeth appears plaque and tartar is formed.

In the period of severe periodontitis, purulent masses can form and accumulate in the dentogingival pockets.

Gingivitis is the development and congestion of microorganisms in the oral cavity with improper care of teeth and gums. The launch of this disease leads to the development of pathogens in the mouth and the subsequent inflammatory process. When the form is started, gingivitis can flow into the periodontitis.

IMPORTANT: If you have symptoms of gum disease, you should immediately seek help from a specialist. Only a dentist can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment for gums. Self-medication can lead to serious negative consequences for your body.

What from a food negatively influences health of gums?

IMPORTANT: The cause of gum disease is huge. Provoke such problems in the oral cavity may impair hygiene, smoking, lack of vitamins, formation of tartar, pregnancy, impaired immune system, poor-quality dental care, etc.

Diseases such as diabetes , angina , acute respiratory infections can also provoke the appearance of problems with the gums.

The gums, like teeth, like solid food. With the help of unsweetened fruits and vegetables, you can not only feed the body with the necessary vitamins, but also massage the gums. In the field of such a massage, the blood flow improves and the mucosa of the oral cavity becomes stronger.

Frequent consumption of soft food( various desserts, buns, etc.) leads to the fact that the gums deprived of massage, become loose and there is a threat of development of the above diseases.

Negatively, gingival tissue is affected strongly by hard food. For example, such fast food as chips and biscuits. This popular snack for beer can scratch and injure the gums.

IMPORTANT: For people with problems in the oral cavity, do not eat foods that contain high amounts of sugar. It creates fertile soil on the enamel of teeth for the development of bacteria.

Which, in turn, can provoke the appearance of calculus and periodontitis. In addition, sugar blocks the absorption of calcium, an important microelement for teeth.

The best health products for gums

The best product for the oral cavity is carrots. In addition to the fact that it contains beta-carotene, an essential element for the body, raw carrots are an excellent gum massager.

IMPORTANT: The gums love vegetable food. In addition, that in such products usually a lot of vitamins and nutrients, they can also clean the tooth enamel from the plaque and massage the gums. Especially in this have succeeded: carrots, celery and greens.

To stop the development of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, add onions to your diet. Kiwi and citrus fruits are also useful for gums. And to restore gum tissue in your food you need to add ginger.

Also gums need vitamins of group B .Most of the vitamins of this group act as a "building material" for the gums. Their shortage in the body can affect the health of the gums. With periodontal disease, the dentist must prescribe a course of the vitamin B6 to the patient.

Also for oral health, vitamin A is needed. This vitamin affects many metabolic processes in the body. With a lack of this vitamin, the gums can become loose and weak.

IMPORTANT: To protect gums from bleeding, it is necessary to include foods rich in vitamin K in your diet. Such products include potatoes, corn, spinach, tomato, dog rose, and the like.
