How important is oral health to people? It can change a person's life!

1. Oral health affects overall health
Illness comes from the mouth, from Jin Fu Xuan's "Motto", although it is an old saying, it is still applicable today. This is not only about the hygiene of what you eat, but also the health of the organs you eat.
Oral bacteria: bacteria enter the intestinal tract through the digestive tract; bacteria enter the systemic blood circulation through the oral cavity, which may lead to rheumatic heart disease in severe cases.
Chewing function: Oral chewing and oral saliva are the first step in digesting food. Poor chewing will increase the digestive burden of the gastrointestinal tract, cause indigestion, and affect nutrient absorption. At the same time, chewing exercise can also reflexively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and stimulate the secretion of digestive juices by digestive organs such as gallbladder and pancreas.
2. Oral health affects growth and development
Affecting nutrition: By affecting digestion and absorption, it leads to nutritional deficiencies during growth and development. Affecting breathing: The oral cavity, nasal cavity and pharynx are connected to each other. Problems such as tonsil, adenoid hypertrophy, and tongue fall will compress the airway, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply and affecting growth and development.
Affect maxillofacial development: local oral function is insufficient, jaw growth cannot be stimulated, use it or not, and maxillofacial development is abnormal.
3. Oral health affects local aesthetics and mental health
Aesthetics: People are the sum total of social relationships. The face is the face of a person and the first business card of a person; a smile is the most beautiful expression of human beings, and most expressions are closely related to the mouth. The oral and facial features carry a person's image and personality.
Psychological: The oral cavity affects personal image and indirectly affects mental development and mental health. It is common in clinical practice that patients become more confident and sunny after orthodontic treatment.
4. Oral health affects social activities such as language and pronunciation
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the mouth is the door to the soul. People get information mostly by eyes, and it is language to transmit information in real time. The oral cavity affects pronunciation, and patients with cleft lip and palate basically need voice training. Partial deformities lead to non-standard pronunciation and affect the communication of information.
It also turns out that people with a better image are more likely to get opportunities.
