Pyorrhea is an advanced form of periodontal disease that causes damage and infection to the bones surrounding the teeth. Proper dental care can help avoid pyorrhea from developing, and can also treat the effects of the condition. It is caused by a variety of health factors, and may not be limited to dental-related causes.Periodontitis is caused by a build-up of bacteria on the teeth and gums. Although this is a fairly common condition, advanced forms can lead to tissue and bone loss. If untreated, the bone loss can become irreparable, leading to the loosening and possible loss of teeth. The causes of severe peridontitis include increased bacteria caused by smoking or improper dental care, excessive consumption of sugar or poor nutrition. People with certain health conditions may also be prone to pyorrhea, including those with genetic blood disorders. An insufficient amount of some vitamins and minerals can also cause dental issues, particularly calcium,niacin and folic acid deficiencies. Symptoms of pyorrhea are related to those of gingivitis and are most visible on the gums. Gums may appear purple or red and have a shiny surface. Gum pain is not a normal symptom, but gums may be tender to the touch and will bleed regularly when brushed. Swelling of the gums is also common in some patients. Most dentists recommend a regular pattern of brushing and flossing, to prevent problems. Proper brushing should include pushing brush bristles below the gum line to remove hidden plaque, and using a brush designed to get between teeth. If you suffer from gingivitis, some dentists also recommend using an antiseptic mouthwash to kill germs. Be warned that mouthwash cannot cure periodontitis, but can help prevent further bacteria from growing. If severe pyorrhea persists, pockets will begin to form between the tooth and gum, allowing plaque to build. These pockets can cut into the jaw bone and lead to considerable bone loss. Surgical procedures may become necessary to treat damage at this level, including soft-tissue grafts and operations to encourage tissue re-growth. The best way to prevent any gum disease is to schedule regular check-ups with a dentist. Not only can regular cleanings help prevent the build-up of plaque and bacteria, but they can also help identify early signs of any problems. Going to the dentist may cause serious anxiety for some patients, but visiting them for a check-up is much less traumatic than having to undergo dental surgery due to improper care.
A variety of medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, HIV, and adverse outcomes of pregnancy have associations with oral health. In addition, the nutritional status of an individual also impacts oral health. In fact, a two-way interaction between nutrition and oral health has been observed. Diseases of the oral cavity, as well as other systemic diseases that have an impact on oral health, can affect an individual's ability to eat and hence affect his or her nutritional status. On the other hand, if the nutritional status of an individual is compromised, it may negatively influence his or her oral health development. It may also impact the severity of oral diseases as well as their rate of recovery. The position statement of the American Dietetic Association states that "nutrition is an integral component of oral health". The associations between nutritional and medical status, and oral health have highlighted an important connection between dental and systemic health. Dentists are some of the highest income earners in the United States. Most dentists in the United States make well over $100,000 a year. If you are willing to go to school longer and get a specialty within the dentistry field, you can make significantly more than this. Dentists tend to work in private practices. The benefits of being your own boss this way include the ability to work the hours of your choice and to choose the medical benefits you want to carry for yourself and your employees. Dentists have a certain amount of prestige within their communities. It is also an easy field for women and minorities to succeed in. On top of the monetary benefits and flexibility of being your own boss, there is a great deal of personal satisfaction that can be found in a career in dentistry.

The cause of dry mouth can be one of several things. Dry mouth feels like you are thirsty but it does not go away after drinking a glass of water. The causes of dry mouth often come from secondary factors, such as the medications you take may cause it. It is important to have this condition treated especially if it becomes severe. Dry mouth occurs when there is not enough saliva in the mouth. The body as a way to keep the mouth wet and to help cleanse the mouth after food is consumed normally produces saliva. It also helps to control the amount and type of bacteria in your mouth, to ensure that you do not get sick. There are times when the mouth fails to produce enough saliva and that is what causes dry mouth. Dry mouth causes range widely. Some medications can lead to a dry mouth feeling, including medications taken for colds, acne, hypertension and asthma. If medications are the cause, doctors may be able to prescribe different doses or other types of medication that do not have this effect. Another reason you may experience dry mouth is that you have one of several types of diseases. HIV/AIDs, diabetes, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis and cystic fibrosis are some of the most common diseases that have a symptom of dry mouth, but there are others.
It’s true that Dental work should be part of the universal care system. Crake or broken teeth have full of cavities, so painful to eat and chew our foods so we can not provide our body with the nutrients it needs, and proper digestion can not happen and they become malnourished and weak. Gum diseased can lead to the removal of some of our teeth, and the disease can travel through out our whole body and develop into hearth disease, and our digestive system. If our teeth are croaked and yellow affects our personal appearance, self confidence, and self esteem, and so contributing to the well being of the person. Odor-halitosis also comes from poor dental hygiene, when our teeth are rotten and we swallow the bacteria, that comes from our teeth. The benefits gain would be prevent diseases, infections, dentures and additional cost. People would be able to get the proper hygiene that they need. In general health care, the person who got the nutrients they need, less risk for disease and regain their self confidence and self esteem.
