How to determine human health by the teeth
Having dental problems? Perhaps the trip to the dentist will not be limited. Already in ancient times, people could determine the problems in the body by the condition of their teeth. The chief physician of the Clinic of Dr. Shipkov, Vladimir Shipkov, will tell you which signals you should pay attention to.
Plaque can appear not only with the abuse of tobacco, coffee, or poor oral hygiene. If you are not a heavy smoker, brush your teeth regularly and suddenly notice a change in the color of your teeth to yellow, it is worth checking the liver or gallbladder. If the plaque is brown, most likely, the matter is in weakening the immune system, and then it is worth taking a blood test.
It would seem that the owners of flawlessly smooth teeth can only be envied. In fact, teeth that are too smooth can mean a decrease in bone density – osteoporosis. It is worth taking tests for the content of calcium and vitamin D in the blood.
Pearlescent teeth coloring
Many people use whitening procedures to have a radiant smile. If the teeth are naturally too bright, this may be a sign of thyroid problems. A pearlescent hue may indicate anemia and the risk of tuberculosis.
If the gums are enlarged, and there is also swelling of the lips and cheeks, then most likely we are talking about periodontitis. Periodontitis is a dental disease resulting in the destruction of the periodontal joint. Gingivitis, that is, inflammation of the gums, is an early stage of periodontitis. The loss of teeth at an older age is in most cases caused by periodontitis. If the gum bleeds, grows, there is slight redness or blue discoloration, then it is worth visiting an endocrinologist and phlebologist.
The habit of grinding your teeth is a hassle not only for those who are forced to listen to these unattractive sounds at night next to you. The fact is that this can mean chronic stress, nervous tension. Teeth grinding can also be caused by problems with the temporomandibular joint or bite.
There is an assumption that each tooth is associated with a specific organ, therefore, according to which teeth most often caries forms, one can say about human health. However, conventional medicine does not take this point of view. Toothache is sometimes a disguise for serious disorders in the body. It seems that a tooth hurts, but in fact these are the consequences of problems with the ENT organs, with the spine or the nervous system.
In the presence of tartar, it is worth contacting a dentist-hygienist, there are many tools in the arsenal of a modern doctor to deal with this problem. Tartar is hardened microbial plaque, most often caused by poor oral hygiene, which can lead to tooth decay.

For other people, with proper home hygiene, professional cleaning once every six months is sufficient.
