This presentation glimpse us through

HEART HEALTH

&Its association with

ORAL HYGIENE SMOKING

ORAL HYGIENEPart-1

Periodontitis (or) pyorrhea is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium, i.e., the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Periodontitis is caused by micro organisms that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces, along with an over-aggressive immune response against these microorganisms.

Prevention of Periodontitis

• Brushing properly on a regular basis (at least twice daily), with the patient attempting to direct the toothbrush bristles underneath the gum-line, helps disrupt the bacterial-mycotic growth and formation of subgingival plaque.

• Flossing daily and using interdental brushes (if the space between teeth is large enough), as well as cleaning behind the last tooth, the third molar, in each quarter.

• Regular dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning as required: Dental check-ups serve to monitor the person's oral hygiene methods and levels of attachment around teeth, identify any early signs of periodontitis, and monitor response to treatment.

SMOKING?!Part-2

•Non-smokers who breathe secondhand smoke have between a 25–30 per cent increase in the risk of developing a CVD.•Of all adult deaths caused by secondhand smoke, more than 80 per cent are from CVD.•Exposure to secondhand smoke worldwide causes an estimated 603,000 deaths each year among non-smokers

Smoking causes one-tenth of Cardio Vascular Disease worldwide

The risk of a non-fatal heart attack increases by 5.6 per cent for every cigarette smoked and persists even at only one to two cigarettes per day

Awareness of links between smoking and cardiovascular disease remains low in many parts of the world

Smoking bans have been found to decrease the rates of heart attacks

Each year, exposure to secondhand smoke kills 600,000 people: 28 per cent of them are children.

In India, more than 25% of all adults working indoors are exposed to second hand smoking

Frequent exposure to tobacco smoke, whether in the workplace or home, has been found to nearly double the risk of having a heart attack.

Not everybody has the choice; many adults and children across the world are ‘trapped’ in environments where they face:

• Overwhelming displays of tobacco, alcohol and fast food• Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke

in parks, cars, work places

POSITIVE Impact of quitting Smoking•Within 20 minutes of quitting smoking, blood pressure and pulse return to normal, and circulation improves•Within eight hours, blood oxygen levels increase and the chances of a heart attack start to fall•Within 24 hours, carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out mucus and debris•Within 72 hours, the lungs can hold more air and breathing becomes easier•Within five years, the risk of a heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker.•Within 15 years, the risk of Cardio Vascular Disease becomes nearly the same as someone who has never smoked
