Your heart health and gum disease
Written by professional Chicagohealers.com Kevin Boehm —
Gum disease is caused by a number of things. There are always bacteria in the mouth with the possibility of creating a state of gum disease, but how the body reacts May their presence at the most important thing.
In a healthy mouth, gum disease causing anaerobic bacteria are usually present, but in smaller numbers than in the mouth healthy. The aerobic bacteria are normally present in abundance, which helps our immune system to control balance and synergy in limiting harmful pathogens by rapid population growth. Normal brushing and flossing every day and maintaining a healthy diet because many organic unprocessed food aid through the immune system in maintaining this condition.
Aggravation of gum disease with many factors. If inadequate or insufficient care agenda was negligent, highly aerobic changes the normal bacterial balance of gum disease produce higher numbers of anaerobic bacteria. Our immune systems face the challenge of fight against anaerobes problem. Our white blood cells release chemical mediators and cell phone messages to bring reinforcements to win the hand in this fight. Some of these anaerobic bacteria, once killed by the reaction of white blood cells, release what is known as endotoxins, a normal component of the bacterial cell during the release damages our own healthy cells, causing cell death. In essence, it is a "friendly fire" as a fact. In our destruction of harmful pathogens, bacteria release their chemical bombs that kill our health gums and / or bone cells, increasing the amount of collateral damage. Some men and some women have no certain guarantees that protect Chemicals death of their own enzymes "of its own healthy tissues. For example, if endotoxin killing osteoclast cells (normal cells bone turnover), can release large quantities of the enzyme collagenase. Collagenase is an enzyme that normal body in a controlled environment for our cells healthy is very useful, but in this case fatal to a large amount of tissue around them, whether this enzyme can be neutralized fairly quickly.
As for this from a vascular point of view this is what happens to blood vessels in areas directly affected by gum disease. Our messengers of the immune system chemical used, the cytokines and prostaglandins, not only to draw more white cells to combat the infection increases, but these chemicals to our hair (small blood vessels) to open holes in walls to allow entry of new white blood cells to fight infection. Most bacteria are dead, endotoxins are released, and now we have blood vessels to open the invading bacteria and their toxic byproducts access anywhere would go into our body through our delivery system with blood. You now a bigger problem.
Endotoxin itself, among other things, the same lethal effects on muscle, lymph, heart, brain and other types of differentiated cells of man. On this powerful murderer loose in his heart or brain tissue can cause damage probably to be honest. If the intimal cells (cells that line the inside of the arteries) are damaged, it can certainly lead the formation of scar tissue, atherosclerosis, hypertension and time. This puts an additional burden on the kidneys and heart muscle itself. In recent decades, or even vascular lesions can be corrected, renal failure, stroke, myocardial infarction, and quite possibly death can result. Heart disease is one of the three leading causes of morbidity and mortality today as he was for many years. As a global, are well aware, attempts to look at the broader picture. Good oral hygiene limits Daily these risk factors. Not doing so can have catastrophic effects if nothing is done and untreated. Brushing and flossing, not just teeth gums and more. It is awareness of the potential penetration of bacteria in our vascular system and infection localized to disseminate systematically with the results mentioned in a list of the possibilities for the unwary host.
Age adjusted mortality rates for coronary heart disease and stroke have reduced each about 30% since 1999, according to latest figures from the Latin heart disease and stroke Heart Association statistics (2009 update published online in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association). They reflect the past 2006 data. "The American Heart Association is proud of the progress this country has done against America's number one cause of death and the third leading cause of death, "said Association President Timothy Gardner MD (News release, American Heart Association, Dallas, December 15, 2008)
If heart disease is 30% better and still number 3, the murderer of Americans seem to have a long way to go.
Well, heart disease in your family and you received a diagnosis of gum disease. What do you do? Unfortunately we can not go into all that supplements designed to prevent, or food, but here is a bit of both, which are easy to make and remember.
Power on the front of hygiene, brush at least 2-3 minutes twice daily, preferably with an electric toothbrush (Oral B, Sonicare, Rotodent, Crest, etc.) These proofs are superior to hand brushing. Floss daily is a lightly up and down making sure to get under the gum line to break the anaerobes, where they like to hide. For those bridges, streams floss, proxybrushes and / or floss whenever they can root without causing damage. I prefer not to mouthwashes that contain alcohol, as a complement to another, and there is plenty of choice. For those who suffer from gum disease, the WaterPik low pressure can be a very good thing to eliminate the problems and where drugs could be the best features. And by all means, See your dentist at least twice a year.
Regarding nutrition and supplementation, let's keep it simple. Having a diet of all organic at best, raw vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds with small quantities of meat, fish and poultry, and limiting processed foods is also simple as possible. They often get the most vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and antioxidants you need just by doing this. If supplements are necessary, and often are, try to start: vitamin C, vitamin E and CoQ10 are powerful antioxidants that are very useful in our system cardio-vascular and the gingival tissue, healthy or sick. They are capable of neutralizing the toxins at the cellular level, which is what makes them so useful. There are a number of more obscure or less well known anti-oxidants, but almost everyone knows about these three.
The fact that heart disease in your family and gum disease is not mean that the executioner, this song is played. You can change things in time and positive change. But this often requires discipline in diet, Hygiene and supplements, most people choose not to do what it should. Hiding the problem will not help. Hard look in the mirror and choose wisely. Accept that difficult decisions must be made, and do whatever is necessary. Gum disease tend to be such cyclical and with due attention to all phases of health and hygiene, you can certainly do your best to limit your risk and repair of damages awarded in many cases.
