Oral hygiene and eating disorders


Diet plays an important role in maintaining the proper condition of the soft tissues of the mouth and the teeth. While there is no doubt that sugar and sweets have a terrible impact on dental health, it may be a surprise for you that iron or vitamin D deficiency in the diet may be the cause of many serious diseases, which are also depicted in the health of your mouth. Dentists in Poland stress that the oral cavity is a structure in which we can find early signs of eating disorders.



Symptoms of eating disorders are most commonly seen in case of elder people. Most of them are also users of dentures abroad. Eating disorders that cause negative changes in the woven mouth are very often also the cause why people stop using their dentures due to pain and tenderness in the tissues. They stop wearing their dentures even for meals, and thus there is no chance for proper fragmentation of the food. Big pieces of food enter the stomach, which is very often already seriously ill, and casue irritation of the tissues and decay, thus worsening the health status of an elderly person. Older people often resign from eating valuable foods that require chewing. Thereby they miss an opportunity to provide the body with valuable nutrients. A good solution of the problem is a valuable, well-balanced diet and a visit to the dentist for dental treatment abroad to improve the health of your teeth and oral tissues.

Older people often complain of taste disorders as well, due to the fact that with age the number of taste buds responsible for the receipt of taste stimuli decreases. Another cause of taste disorders can be also dentures - if these problems do not disappear after a few weeks of adapting to the new dentures, please go to your dentist.

Taste disturbance may occur after the completion of 45 years of age or in case of postmenopausal women.
