Your Allergic Reactions
August 27th, 2009Lung Infections and Gingivitis…
August 8th, 2009It has recently become quite clear that there is a possible link between lung infections and gum disease. Because both of these problems are serious in and of themselves, neither should be taken lightly. With studies showing that periodontal disease can ultimately cause lung infections, that is yet more incentive to practice effective oral hygiene. Not only are your teeth and gums too important to risk, but your respiratory health is as well.
One device that is quite useful is known as the oral irrigator. This tool can aid in helping to fight the daily build up of plaque that is happening in your mouth.
Lung infections are also commonly known as bacterial respiratory infections. At least, that is one type of lung infection. Specifically, it is the one with which we are most concerned for the purposes of this article. These infections are caused when you inhale fine amounts of bacteria into your lungs. Naturally, within the droplets, there are germs. Those germs will first begin breeding and then multiplying – right inside your lungs. To say they can cause significant damage that way is an understatement. Essential oil blends such as oramd might be helpful in this regard.
An ozone generator can be used to create oxygenated water that can then be used as an oxygenated mouth rinse. If you use a lot of mouthwash this could be a great way to save your money.
There was recently some research done which shows that this harmful bacteria can exist in the mouth. From there, it can be inhaled down into the lungs. A primary infection can occur, or an existing one can become much worse.
What is the specific link here? Gum disease is caused by bacteria. The worst part is that a large percentage of people currently have some form of gum disease and they do not even know it. In the best case scenario, we all have bacteria in our mouths, all the time. When you do not take care of your teeth and gums, however, the bacteria will get worse and worse. Microbes can infest the plaque building up between your teeth. That can easily be aspirated into your respiratory tract.
This article is not intended to provide advice, treatment or diagnosis for gum disease or any other health condition and is for information purposes only. You should seek diagnoses, treatment, advice and care from a periodontist or other dental professional if you have or think you might have gum disease or any other oral health problem. For other health problems, visit a physician. The FDA has not evaluated statements about the products mentioned in this article.
