Teeth loss and breast cancer

Recent studies have shown that women who have cavities in their teeth or suffer from periodontal disease, are 11 times more likely to develop breast cancer. Therefore, it is especially important for them to take care of their teeth and visit their dentist in Poland or start any other dental treatment abroad. 

The survey was conducted in Sweden on a group of three thousand patients. It showed that among the 41 people who were diagnosed with breast cancer, cancer risk was 11 times higher in patients with periodontitis and cavities in teeth. Since this is the first such study, the chairman of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter said that in order to confirm this information more research in this area should be caried out.

Periodontitis is caused by bacteria in plaque. As a result of this condition the teeth start to move, and then fall out. Many of the research carried out so far, showed that oral infections often have an impact on the overall health. It is believed that in case of people with periodontitis, bacteria causing the disease get into into the bloodstream, increasing the risk of heart disease.

Because periodontal disease develops painlessly, you should pay special attention to the symptoms, such as gum inflammation and redness, swelling, and bleeding, halitosis, 'loose' teeth and mouth infections. According to dr. Carter, the best and easiest way to prevent periodontitis is plaque removal, especially in the interdental spaces. He recommends brushing your teeth at least 2 times a day with fluoride toothpaste and using dental floss. Regular visits to the dentist can also help diagnose the emerging problem of periodontitis.

The influence of smoking and sleep on oral health

Recent studies have shown that smoking is the most important lifestyle-related factor in the progress of periodontal disease. Smoking is then followed by another important factor: lack of sleep ... Studies show that the state of the health of the oral cavity, in addition to brushing your teeth and using dental floss, is significantly influenced by other factors. Changes, such as a little more sleep, give the patient a better chance of improving the health of the oral cavity. It is also important to remember about the relationship between oral disease with systemic diseases.

It is believed that periodontal disease, which affects the teeth and gums, and can ultimately lead to the loss of
teeth can be caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the oral cavity. However, recent studies prove that also other factors play a major role. Researchers analyzed the impact of various factors related to the mode of life of various workers on the progress of periodontal disease, such as regular exercises, alcohol use, smoking, hours of sleep, hours of work, diet, stress, and eating breakfast. Of all the factors associated with the style of life of patients, scientists pointed to smoking as having the biggest influence on the development of periodontal diseases. The results, published in the Journal of Periodontology has also shown that 41% of those who experienced deterioration of periodontitis are smokers. Second largest factor associated with lifestyle and causing periodontal disease is the lack of sleep. The difference is visible already in case of people sleeping 7-8 hours per day compared with those who sleep only 6 hours or less. A definite impact on the development of periodontal disease is also living in stress and alcohol abuse.

If you have problems with periodontal diseases, visit your dentist abroad.

Healthy smile is trendy!

We are, fortunately, more and more aware of how important a beautiful smile is for making a good impression and for our overall health. Although more and more often people decide to wear braces, in many parts of the country wearing this specific "ornaments" still raises a lot of emotions. Orthodontic treatment of children and adults has become a habit and is now very fashionable. Specifically dental braces exist now as a symbol of taking care of one's health and beauty and keeping up with the latest trends.

But the competition never sleeps: it turns out that implantology is getting more and more popular. This rapidly growing field of dentistry abroad gets crowds of patients satisfied with the modern "third teeth." Those who still have teeth to save or straighten, should focus on the orthodontic treatment. Of course, the sooner the better. If, however, orthodontic treatment is not carried out in childhood, you can start virtually at any age - but you must be patient.

Orthodontic treatment requires time and money. Time - if you decide to do it as an adult, or if you want to use the services of a specialist who has signed a contract with the National Health Service, because sometimes you have to wait up to a year for the first visit. Patients can also choose to quickly and practically have the treatment performed in a private dental clinic in Poland without waiting. No matter which path you choose, the rate is always the health of your teeth and a fight for a beautiful smile.

Dentistry in Poland

Be wise before the damage and visit your dentist in Poland before your dental problems develop. Although, due to the best technologies, visit to the dentist's when your tooth is already aching can still cure the problem, it will for sure not be good for your finances.

Currently, as much as 43 percent of the Poles do not go to the dentist because of the fear. But the vast majority of us, when we already decide to treat our teeth, we pay for it from our own finances. It means that the fear of the dentist is a very expensive emotion. The dentist should be visited before the decay and other oral diseases have made serious damages, not only for the sake of finances, but also because we live three times longer than our ancestor but our enamel is still the same as theirs, and we have to take care of it to last longer.

The fear of the dentist should not be an excuse to avoid dentistry abroad. Besides the well-known decay, we also have a new destroyer of the teeth: acid erosion of the enamel. The condition affects approximately 30-40 percent of the population. It is the patients themselves who cause the harm by brushing their teeth badly. They tend to perform horizontal movements of scrubbing, using too hard brushes. As a result, wrinkles are formed at the surface of the teeth near the gums, where the enamel is thinnest.

Prevention does not hurt, but the treatment may hurt a lot, because the anesthetic does not eliminate the unpleasant feeling when you see the bill issued by your own negligence.
