The document discusses the importance of oral health and its connection to overall health. It explains how problems in the mouth like tooth decay and gum disease can be caused by bacteria, sugar, improper brushing and smoking. Tooth decay damages the protective enamel and can lead to pain, infection and difficulty speaking or chewing. Gum disease is linked to conditions like diabetes and heart disease. The document emphasizes that proper brushing and flossing for six minutes a day can prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Oral Health and You BY ASRAR ALI AFGHAN
Your oral health can affect your overall health.
Your teeth are important for: Chewing Talking Appearance
Oral Health and you Chewing : To divide the food finally so that a large surface area is available for the action of digestive juice. Talking: To assist( help) the tongue and lips to form some of the sounds of speech. Appearance: The teeth form an important feature of face, and by supporting the lips and cheeks enable this structure to perform their functions and expressing emotion.
But did you know that problems in your mouth could create problems elsewhere in your body?
Let’s examine the first thing you think of when “oral health” is mentioned: Tooth decay…
Tooth decay is caused by: Bacteria found in plaque Sugary foods and drinks Improper or neglected tooth brushing Bacteria in the PLAQUE in your mouth turns food (sugar) on your teeth into ACID.
To understand an acid attack on your teeth, we need to first look at the tooth structure. The Enamel is… The outside layer. - A hard protective covering. - The hardest substance in our body, even harder than bone. The Pulp is… The inside layer. - The live part of the tooth. - Has blood vessels and nerves. The Dentin is… Underneath the enamel. - Makes up the largest part of a tooth. - Hard, but not as hard as enamel.
An acid attack: Acid produced by the bacteria in our plaque destroys the tooth’s enamel and, after repeated attacks, creates a hole or “cavity.”
Diet and Nutrition Your diet includes all the food you eat each day whether the food is healthy or not (junk food). Your diet needs to include a variety of foods in order for you to have good nutrition and good oral health.
Snacking Snacks between meals are a great way to provide food you need daily for: Growth Energy Learning Healthy Bones, Skin and Teeth
But, if you make poor choices, snacks can cause dental problems… Frequent soda drinking can cause tooth decay when sugar (and acid) combine with bacteria in the mouth to form more acid. Even diet, sugar-free sodas contain acid which harms your teeth. Each sip causes a 20-minute acid attack that may cause tooth decay. Soda Drinking
Results of Tooth Decay: Pain and infection Difficulty in speaking and chewing Difficulty concentrating Loss of self-esteem Lost school days Poor nutrition Cost of care
Besides tooth decay, harmful habits or activities can damage your teeth… Keep Foreign Objects Out of the Mouth Don’t Use your teeth to: Cut things Hold onto pens/pencils Bite nails Crack nuts Crunch ice Open bottles or hairpins
Sports Seek immediate treatment if a tooth is knocked out (within 30 minutes). - Do NOT clean the tooth. - Do NOT touch the wound site. - Keep the tooth WET . (Put it in a glass of cool water, milk or a wet cloth). Always wear a mouth guard for physical contact sports
Smoking
All Tobacco Products are Harmful
Smoking Causes Stained teeth Plaque build-up Bad breath Mouth sores Gum disease Tooth loss Greater chance for oral cancer
Smokeless Tobacco Causes: Tooth abrasion Gum recession Increased tooth decay Tooth discoloration Bad breath Addiction Oral cancer
Eating Disorders (Bulimia & Anorexia) What you perceive as “looking good” actually causes… Self-destruction Depression Withdrawal Malnutrition Health/Dental problems Death
Now let’s examine some other things you may not know….
The #1 cause of tooth loss in adults is not tooth decay, but…. Gum Disease
What is gum disease? A bacterial infection in the mouth caused by the accumulation of plaque on the teeth
Gingivitis Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, and the most common. It is reversible and involves only the gum tissues around the teeth. Signs: Bleeding when brushing or flossing, puffy, red tissues between the teeth, and pain or tenderness.
Periodontitis Periodontitis is the more destructive form of gum disease. It is not reversible and involves permanent loss of the gums and underlying bone eventually leading to tooth loss. Signs: Chronic bad breath, receding gums, and teeth that are loose (bleeding may or may not occur).
Recently scientists have found a possible link between Gum Disease and certain conditions like: Diabetes Heart Disease Pre-term, low birth weight babies Connections: Oral & Systemic Health Review; July 2005, Vol.1 No.1
Why should you be concerned?
As a young adult, what you do now can prevent many problems from occurring later on….
By investing only six minutes each day, both tooth decay and gum disease can be prevented by you… … That’s two minutes twice each day spent on brushing and two minutes once a day for flossing.
Proper Brushing Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline. Brushing only 2-3 teeth at a time, gently brush the outside , inside and chewing surfaces of all your teeth. Use short back-and-forth or circular strokes. Don’t forget to brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath!
Proper Flossing Now, gently follow the curves of your teeth, sliding the floss up and down the tooth’s surface a few times. Be sure to go below the gumline. Using your middle fingers, wrap about 18” of floss around them (but not too tightly). Leave about an inch or two of floss between your hands.
Your teeth were meant to last you a lifetime… So now it’s up to you!
Personal Choices Choose healthy snacks and eat fewer foods that are high in sugar. Limit soda drinking and rinse your mouth afterward.
If you are thinking about smoking – don’t start. And if you smoke – quit before the damage is permanent. If you are thinking about oral piercing –forget about it. You may end up with some serious and painful problems.
