Apparently unknown if his heart filled with fluid. "After the investigation, it turns out according to the doctor cause is a hole in the tooth," he said with concern.

Relationship of bacteria in the mouth with heart disease lately is widely studied, mainly related to bacteria enokarditis and coronary heart disease. According to one study, the number of cases of heart disease, 54 percent of patients had a history of periodontal disease (gum).

The mouth is an ideal place for bacterial growth. If not cleaned properly then the toxins and bacteria can enter the bloodstream. In addition to heart disease, infections of the teeth can make a person experiencing stiffness around the neck, sore muscles, sore eyes, and even renal impairment.

The spread of dental disease to other organs, according to dentists Private Aditya, Sp.Ort, occurs because of focal infection, namely chronic infection somewhere and trigger the disease elsewhere. "Poison, the remnants of dirt, or microbial penginfeksi on the teeth and mouth can spread to other places," said the doctor from the clinic Dharmawangsa Dental Care, Jakarta, this.

Meanwhile in the eye, bacteria on the teeth will make the eyes tired and sore at the top of the eye. This pain is caused by infection of the tooth because it turns out these two organs have the same parent nerve.

According to Aditya, the spread of infection to the teeth to other body parts do require a long process. "It is rather difficult to determine how long the process of spreading," he said.

Trigger Bottle Milk Drinking Habits Dental Caries

Cavities or caries problem experienced by approximately 85 percent of children aged under five years in Indonesia. One possible cause is the habit of drinking milk bottle at the end of the age of five. If not addressed, it would degrade the quality of child development.

This presented a specialist dental health of children, Mochamad Fahlevi Rizal, while defending his dissertation for his doctorate with the theme "The Influence of Milk Bottle Drinking habits of Dental Caries Potential at Age 3-5 Years", on Saturday (20 / 6) in Jakarta.

So far, dental caries is still a problem child health. World Health Organization (WHO) in 2003 stated, the incidence of caries in children 60-90 percent. Dental caries are decayed areas in teeth caused by the process that gradually dissolves the email (the surface of a hard outer tooth) and continues to grow into the inside of the tooth.

Caries problem in children, otherwise known as bottle caries syndrome (LCS) is often found in children aged under five end. The reason is the sugar found in milk and fruit juice are drunk at times when your child at bedtime. Bacteria in dental plaque and then convert the sugar to be damaging acid to cause tooth decay and destruction.

The fact that there are in Jakarta and around show high LCS patients who come to the child's dental clinic. From observations at the three hospitals showed that the proportion of pediatric patients who suffer from infectious diseases to come and it reached 95 percent.

Bacterium

Preliminary research shows, the prevalence of caries would be 1.3 times higher in children who have a habit of bottle-fed than children who are not accustomed to drinking milk bottle. To find the main problem of this syndrome can be traced from the aspects of microbiology, such as the role of caries-causing bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus.

Fahlevi explained, S mutans divided into four serotypes (c, e, f and k) and S sobrinus were identified as serotypes d and g. As the main bacterium causing dental caries, S. mutans can form colonies and attach to the tooth surface. A number of proteins on the surface of S mutans cells allows the bacteria to form biofilms on the tooth surface so that survive in the mouth.

In his study with children aged 3-5 years as a research subject, making milk bottles as a bedtime increases the risk of the LCS 1.03 times greater than that do not make it as a lullaby.

The frequency of bottle-fed twice or more per day will also increase the risk of incident LCS 2.27 times. Meanwhile, drink milk (ASI) was to provide protection from the syndrome.

Tooth Brush Before Bed, Compulsory!

When compared to the morning, not many people who used to brush his teeth before bed. In fact, precisely the evening is the most important time to protect the teeth from the evil bacteria.

According to Aditya Personal drg, SpOrtho, while sleeping in the mouth so sour mood, if not removed, tooth decay will be more easily arise. "Actually, not just before bed that must brush your teeth, after every meal had to be because the atmosphere of the mouth more acidic, and bacteria love it," said the doctor who practiced in dental clinics Dental Care Dharmawangsa 8, Jakarta, this.

If we do not brush your teeth before bed, the bacteria in the mouth can damage teeth freely. This is because while sleeping at night, the production of saliva is reduced. As a result, mouth so dry and plaque neutralization process takes place not optimal. As is known, one of the functions of saliva is naturally clean teeth and immune function of bacteria.

Apart from causing plaque, bacteria that proliferate in the mouth was also one of the causes of bad breath. No wonder that early in the morning was pleasant aroma wafted from the mouth. To reduce the proliferation of bacteria that, we need to brush my teeth. So, do not just brush my teeth while bathing, but also the night after dinner before bed.

Sweet, but No Damage Teeth

Currently about 95 percent of world population suffer from dental caries or cavities. Three main causes of cavities, namely the bacteria mutans streptococci, saliva, and food scraps.

Leftover food (especially sugar) left in between teeth will stimulate the growth of bacteria mutans streptococci so that the colonies growing on a layer of dental plaque. The bacteria can ferment the sugar on your teeth and produce acid compound which lowers the pH of the mouth to less than 5.5. Acid compound will erode tooth enamel, forming a hole in the tooth surface.

Xylitol is a positive impact on dental health because it can inhibit the growth and metabolism of dental plaque formation by mutans streptococci bacteria. Xylitol is believed to support the process of remineralization in dental caries. This was stated by Prof. Jason Tanzer, head of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.

Xylitol is considered as a sweetener that is friendly to the teeth. It is so called not only because xylitol prevents tooth decay by replacing the role of ordinary sugar, but also because it can repair minor damage to dental caries. Xylitol can otherwise reduce dental plaque that can not broken down by microorganisms that live in the mouth that cause cavities.

Xylitol is considered as the second greatest discovery of compounds for dental health after fluoride, such as the acclaimed Dr Nigel Carter of the International Dental Health Foundation. Because xylitol is an empty calorie sweetener, mutans streptococci bacteria can not use it as an energy source, and even threaten its survival.

In addition, xylitol can not be fermented so as not to form acidic compounds that cause cavities. Xylitol is keeping the pH of the mouth remained stable at neutral pH (around 7) so as to prevent cavities and stimulates production of saliva which is rich in calcium to speed up the process of re-establishment of a layer of tooth mineral.
