Myasnikov spoke about the mortal danger of sick teeth

by time news

Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov said that some dental problems can cause serious illnesses that threaten even death.

On TV, Myasnikov said that the damage to the hard tissues of the tooth, which begins with the destruction of the enamel, leads to damage to the nerves, which, in turn, can provoke severe headaches. That is, common caries can cause headaches. Another consequence is the malocclusion caused by arthritis and arthrosis of the maxillary joint.

The gaps between the teeth are a breeding ground for bacteria that cause inflammation, and those – heart disease.

At the same time, one of the most serious consequences of dental diseases, Myasnikov, called indigestion, which in some cases leads to the occurrence of gastrointestinal oncology. So, bacteria in diseased gums can cause pancreatic cancer, the teledoctor said.

“We know a number of other cancers of the digestive tract,” he added, “which are associated with periodontitis.”

To prevent the development of dangerous diseases, Myasnikov advised to visit the dentist every six months. He stressed that this even applies to children, since milk teeth should also be observed.

Earlier, Myasnikov talked about a way to diagnose esophageal cancer while eating. He explained that dysphagia – difficulty swallowing – may indicate this particular condition.
