As the entry point of food and beverages intake into the body, mouth is a window of health for humans. The function os the gums and teeth cannot be seperated from the condiiton of the body as a whole, becuase oral health can reflect or indicate disease in other parts of the body. For example, dental and gum disease ar closely associated with systmatic ailments like diabetes, heart disease and respiratory illness.<\/p>\n The commemoration of Dental and Mouth Health Day, at SDN Tebet Timur 01 Pagi South Jakarta, presented drg.

Think\u201dMouth\u201d, think \u201chealth\u201d, which has 4 main focuses. Dental and oral health is more important than a charming smile, because it is clossely related to the health of the health of the body: they affect one another becuase they are one organism and have the same risk factors\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n In the event, Dr. drg Hananto Seno, Sp. BM.,MM also explained, \u201cThe World Dental and Mental health Day 2018 is a form of Pdgi and Pepsodent support for the government program\u201d.Towards \u201cIndonesia Caries- free 2030\u201d, because PDGI realizes that the current knowledge and awareness of the importance of the public maintaining healthy teeth and mouth is still very low, because people are more concerned about other body issues. This is where the dentist\u2019s active role is needed in raising awareness of oral health and fighting cavities, through brushing teeth twice a day( after breakfast and before bedtime) and routinely checking the teeth at the dentist\u2019s at least once every 6 months<\/p>\n In support of Dr. Seno\u2019s comments, Dr. Dicky levenus Tahapary, SpPD PHD Describes the process of emergence of body health indicators from the condition of the teeth and gums.<\/p>\n \u201cthe condition of the teeth and the mouth is able to reflect or can give a sign of disease in the human body. Some \u00b7of the\u00a0 most\u00a0 common cases, such as bleeding gums and decayed teeth, are correlated with body health and\u00a0 systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, kidney damage, heart disease andrespiratory illness. What’s more, bleeding gums indicate a build\u00ad up of bacteria that can tum into calcified plaque and cause infection in supporting jaw bones”Said Dr. Dicky.<\/p>\n He also revealed further “The condition of the body that suffers from kidney damage can reduce the strength of the bones, including the jaw .Patients with kidney problems will suffer a loss of the sense of taste, and they will also suffer from bad breath. In addition, changes in bone density can also occur because our bodies do not absorb calcium properly, \u201cobserved Dr. Dicky, concluding his conversation with the Independent Observer.<\/p>\n With\u00a0 the\u00a0 celebration\u00a0 of\u00a0 World Dental and Mouth Day in 2018, there is new hope for the whole community, by educating them about the importance of oral health in order to achieve the goal Senyum sehat Indonesia’, (One Smile Indonesia).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sumber : Independent-Observer.23-29-Maret-2018.Hal_.20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Muhammad Akbar INDEPENDENT OBSERVER Jakarta-March 20 has been designated as \u201cWorld Dental and Oral Day\u201d(WOHD).
