Scientists call for better prevention of dental ailments in both adults and children
People with bad teeth now you can stop berating yourself for “sweet child” and occasional visits to the dentist. To such conclusion the group of scientists from the University of Newcastle, stating on the pages of the “journal of dental research” that only unhealthy in adulthood comes to a gradual destruction of the teeth.
Researchers examined more than 300 people born in Newcastle in 1947; followed their development and physical health in childhood, and lifestyle and bad habits in more Mature years. The doctors looked at how many teeth they have lost and the condition of their gums.
The conclusion was pretty traditional: the more cigarettes someone smokes in my life, the more teeth he or she will most likely lose.
Earlier studies have already revealed that Smoking severely limits the blood circulation in the gums, which leads to various gum diseases and tooth loss. Moreover, it became clear that the worse the social conditions in which people live, the less often he brushes his teeth and goes to the dentist.
Scientists call for better prevention of dental ailments in both adults and children, and regularly advise dentists to remind patients of all ages that Smoking spoils the teeth.
“Harm teeth and gums is applied over a long period of time, and it is irreversible,” says scientific project leader Dr mark Pearce.
According to Dr. Pierce, the results of the study show that to keep track of your teeth is important at any age, not only in childhood, and it’s never too late to accustom themselves to the daily routine of cleaning teeth.
“You can’t reverse time, but you can increase the likelihood that your teeth will last you until old age — and this is very important, given the fact that life expectancy has been increasing steadily,” he says.
Professor Jimmy Steele from the dental Department of the University of Newcastle, who also took part in the study, notes that even if a child is trained twice a day, brush your teeth, not the fact that he will keep this habit, after leaving his father’s house and starting independent adult life, especially as adults are increasingly replacing the meal with a chocolate bar.
“In fact, research has shown that worst of all watch your mouth, young people aged 20 to 30 years,” says Professor Steele.
The representative of the British dental Association (BDA) confirmed the importance of brushing teeth twice a day pasta with fluoride, saying that some drinks and foods such as coffee, red wine and curry consumed in large quantities, affect the color of tooth enamel.
“Smoking not only affects the appearance of your teeth; it can lead to gum disease and even cancer of the oral cavity. To quit Smoking is not easy, but it’s worth it, considering the long term,” say British dentists.
