In India, oral care is often ignored as most of the people think that teeth are only important for chewing food and as people have twenty-eight teeth losing few won’t have any overall impact and one can survive with few teeth …. so we decided to write something about how teeth play an important role in the overall maintenance of your teeth.
Have we ever thought that if we don’t have teeth or if we have a missing molar it can affect the entire biting or masticating system that’s the importance of teeth but most of us are ignorant … we all know in fact back in Vedas too it has been said that the food should be chewed properly in fact 32 times so that it can be digested properly.… if we do not chew properly problems related to GIT is very common i.e acidity, constipation which then cause various other general problems.
Studies have shown how oral disease is related to diabetes, in fact, periodontal disease (gum disease) is considered as one of the sixth complications in diabetes in fact gum disease has a serious impact on the heart too leading to cardiac arrest but still, we all are ignorant about oral health.
