The main sign of good health at any age has been determined

The main sign of good health at any age is the condition of the oral cavity, which does not require manipulation of the teeth – this was determined by a scientist from University of Connecticut (USA).

According to American researchers, the condition of the oral cavity and teeth is “the most important indicator of the health of the body in people of different ages.” For example, the presence of periodontitis is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes.

The more often a person has to “repair” or remove teeth, the more significant the probability that his health will no longer be good, scientists say.

“Manipulation of the teeth and their supporting structures can lead to the entry of bacteria present in the oral cavity into the bloodstream, which is dangerous for the spread of infections,” the scientists said.

They warn , that with a bad condition of the oral cavity – tooth chips, carious damage, inflammatory phenomena – even regular cleaning can be harmful, contributing to the penetration of bacteria into the blood, which can provoke the development of various diseases.
