Modern people are known to have periodontal disease, so more than 80% of people in their 30s and older have periodontal disease.
Meanwhile, in modern times, various mental illnesses caused by stress are becoming a serious problem because many people are exposed to various stresses.
Periodontal disease and stress. These two problems, which threaten the healthy lives of modern people, are not independent, but deeply related to each other, according to a recent study.
Stress causes gum disease?
Periodontal disease is a scary disease that can be destroyed by toxins produced by periodontal pathogenic bacteria in plaque, enzymes and their immune reactions, eventually causing the teeth to shake and fall out.
To prevent this, you need to remove tartar by brushing your teeth every day and enhance your immune system by eating nutritious meals and living a regular life.
However, people’s immune system to feel mental stress decreases and they become easily affected by various diseases.
It’s the same with gum disease, and a study that looked at the relationship between gum disease and stress found that people who are under stress have higher PD values that indicate the depth of their intraoral periodontal pockets, and that people who are under stress are more likely to develop periodontal disease.
In order to prevent gum disease by enhancing immunity, not only daily oral care such as toothpaste but also mental care becomes important.
Let’s raise the right care, “self-efficacy.”
In the dental field, it is reported that people with higher “self-efficacy” in oral care actually keep their mouth in good condition and have a lower risk of gum disease.
Self-efficacy is the belief of how well you can do the actions you need to produce results.
So if you have a strong sense of robust and appropriate care when it comes to oral care, you can actually keep your mouth healthy.
General oral care

There will be many people who are practicing their back.
To prevent gum disease, this intraoral care plus
A nutritious diet that boosts immunity
To actively manage stress and not to collect stress
It is important to have a habit of maintaining mental and physical health comprehensively, such as back.
Periodontal disease is not only related to the condition of the mouth but also to the mental and physical health.
Let’s improve ‘self-efficacy’ with the right management habits.
