The Importance of Teeth: Oral Health and Physical Well-being

Teeth are as important as eyeballs, heart and other organs. Its condition is closely related to physical health and deserves everyone’s attention.

Xiao Zhang, a 24-year-old man from Mainland China, failed to treat his three cavities in time. After staying up late continuously, his resistance decreased, resulting in an intracranial infection and he fell into a coma. After three “death gates”, he was finally rescued.

Common abnormal teeth in the oral cavity include: residual roots, residual crowns, and loose teeth caused by dental caries (cavities) or wear; congenital ectopic and abnormally shaped teeth. The latter usually develops dental caries and periodontal disease a few years later due to poor hygiene, unbalanced biting force, etc., resulting in residual roots, residual crowns, and loose teeth. .

Cavities generally need to be removed as directed by your doctor. Some patients give up tooth extraction because of fear or indifference, resulting in repeated inflammation of the teeth and periodontal disease. It may locally affect the teeth’s occlusion, aesthetics and other functions, as well as mucous membranes and joint lesions. In severe cases, it may cause serious complications, such as cellulitis, jaw osteomyelitis, and even sepsis and oral cancer. Systemically speaking, chronic inflammation of the teeth and periodontium can also become a focus, causing or exacerbating other systemic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, bacterial endocarditis, nephritis, iridocyclitis, etc.

Some dentists said that they often see elderly patients who cannot prepare suitable movable teeth without extracting stumps, which results in low chewing efficiency and causes temporomandibular joint disease: bite pain, habitual dislocation, mandibular bone resorption and other difficult problems. Some of them have not been corrected for many years and even caused gastrointestinal diseases and psychological diseases. Therefore, we call on everyone to pay attention to oral diseases and actively maintain oral health so that we can live with a smile.

A 12-year-old boy in Hunan, Mainland China, suffered from terminal lung cancer at a young age. His mother said that her son had several bad habits and blamed herself for the tragedy due to her own negligence.

According to mainland media reports, the 12-year-old boy named Xiaojia was discovered by his mother to have a lump the size of a “quail egg” on his left collarbone. It was hard to the touch, but he did not feel any pain or itching. His mother was shocked when she noticed something strange. Take Xiaojia to the hospital in a hurry.

The doctor performed a “partial excision biopsy” on the mass on Xiaojia’s clavicle. The postoperative report showed that it was “Ewing’s sarcoma”, which is an undifferentiated reticulocyte tumor.

His mother was worried and took him to another hospital for examination. He was eventually diagnosed with “late stage lung cancer”. Due to the high malignancy of the tumor and the patient’s young age, it would be very difficult for him to recover in the future. His parents were devastated when they learned the news.

Her mother said frankly that she became pregnant at the age of 29, and the couple doted on their son so much that in the past few years, “the family has never had breakfast, and they have to chase after each other to eat half a bowl of rice for lunch and dinner. Basically, boiled water is also available.” If you don’t drink, just drink juice and drinks when you are thirsty.” In addition, Xiaojia also likes to play video games and often secretly plays with the mobile phone while his parents are sleeping. Therefore, he “often stays up late and has an irregular life schedule.” He thinks it is because of these bad habits. Habits lead to cancer at a young age.

In this regard, the attending doctor of the Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital said that lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality among malignant tumors. The boy is only 12 years old, which is already the youngest in his medical career. Although it looks like a boy on the surface, Children are just like ordinary people, but their condition is actually quite critical.

As for the causes of the disease, doctors admit that smoking, environmental pollution and bad living habits will all affect it; the incidence of lung cancer is also trending towards younger people, including eating habits, work and rest, and mental stress. As for the early symptoms, most of which are cough, chest and back pain, etc., some patients may be in the middle and late stages as soon as they are discovered, calling for early examination and early treatment.
