scrutinize their oral health.
Oral hygiene plays an important role in connection with systematic disease. If you are in the habit of not considering your oral health a top priority, you are probably unaware of the potential damage that gum disease and tooth decay can do to your body.
Why Oral Health - Realtooth
But one thing that never crosses people’s minds is, why a dentist is asking you to care for your tooth, gums and oral cavity.
Because there is one thing that we dentists always quote is Prevention is better than cure. But such quotes never hit a patient’s mind.
Let us get through the connection between Periodontitis and Respiratory disease!
Periodontitis tells the Oral Cavity condition and Respiratory tells the Lungs condition.
WHAT IS PERIODONTITIS?
It is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth.
Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen or lead to tooth loss. It is common but largely preventable. It’s usually the result of poor oral hygiene.

WHAT ISRESPIRATORY DISEASE? 
It is a systemic inflammation related to chronic disease. It is a disease that affects the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system.

ORAL CAVITY IS AN IMPORTANT RESERVOIR OF BACTERIAL PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE LUNG DISEASE.
LINKAGE: Saliva plays an important role in linking Periodontaldisease to Respiratory disease. Oro-pharyngeal mucosa is the most common route of infection as pathogens reside on it.

The periodontal disease-associated enzymes in saliva promote adhesion and colonization by respiratory pathogens and then aspirated into the lungs.
Cytokines alter respiratory epithelium, leading to the infection by respiratory pathogens.

Reasons behind the periodontal ill healthcare  Diminished salivation, Salivary pH, Poor oral Health, Environmental Pollutant, Smoking Habit, Genetic Factor, Allergies.
Prevention of oral colonization by Respiratory Pathogens are:
Mechanical Ventilation
Improved Oral Hygiene by proper Brushing techniques, Flossing, Gum massage and warm Saline rinses, Chlorhexidine Mouthwash (after every meal).
SSD (selective digestive decontamination) is a prophylactic treatment which contains antimicrobials.
Conclusion: As there exists a  strong association between periodontitis and respiratory disease a regular visit to the dentist is strongly recommended for a healthy dental and systemic system.

RCT Versus Implant

The outcomes of both  dental implants  and endodontically treated teeth have been extensively studied. However, there is still great controversy over when to keep a natural tooth and when to extract it for a dental implant. So, what should you do? Keep reading to learn more about these procedures. ROOT CANAL TREATMENT A root canal is the treatment of choice for teeth whose roots have been damaged, whether by trauma or decay. The dentist will numb your tooth before creating an opening through the crown of your tooth to access the pulp chamber. Then, he or she will clean out the infection and remove any unhealthy pulp to prep the tooth for the filler. A material known as gutta-percha, are placed into the canals to prevent future infection or contamination. You’ll get a temporary filling until a permanent one (called a crown) can be placed on your tooth to seal the opening.
