Harmful bacteria in the mouth, especially germs that cause tooth decay and advanced gingival disease, reach the intestines. Crohn’s disease such as serious health problems can trigger.
Research reveals that the risk of developing Crohn in individuals with chronic gingival disease is three times more than healthy individuals. Specialist dentist and oral dental jaw surgeon stated that dental caries, gingivitis and advanced gingival diseases can lead to inflammatory processes not only in the mouth but also in the intestines. Dr. Birkan Taha Ozkan, stressed the measures to be taken to prevent such health problems.
“Bacteria in the mouth almost fire in the intestine”
Prof. Dr. Birkan Taha Ozkan, “Many bad bacteria in our mouths, tooth decay bacteria and chronic periodontitis (advanced stage gingival disease) bacteria can settle in the intestines and trigger serious diseases such as Crohn. This shows that there is an invisible bridge between the mouth, dental, jaw, jaw bone and intestinal health. gum bleedinggingival withdrawal, jaw bone resorption individuals with individuals much higher; Bacteria in the mouth, almost fire in the intestine, “he said.
“Increase fiber foods, use floss once a day”
Prof. Dr. Özkan finally made suggestions for a healthy mouth and body. Decreasing the sugar, increasing fiber foods, using dental floss and probiotic support by taking regular dentist examination Özkan, “Sugar, both dental caries and bad bacteria in the intestine nourishes. Fiber foods support the development of friendly bacteria once a day. Fermented products, oral and intestinal flora to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria, at least 6 months of dental dental examinations, dental caries and periodontitis diseases are vital in terms of early diagnosis and intervention, “he said.
“Inflammation in the intestine and Crohn’s disease”
Özkan stated that the process ranging from tooth decay and chronic gum disease to Crohn’s disease took place in four stages, “Frequent consumption of sugary foods and insufficient oral hygiene, unconscious antibiotic use due to dental decay pain, escape from dental medical control, to dental enamel. Periodontitis from gingivitis to the dental decay (gingivitis), which causes chronic gingivis and tooth loss. Not only causes bone resorption and tooth loss, and the spread of systemic inflammation in the 3rd stage of the bacteria (chronic gum disease). At this point, the complexity of the oral microbiome comes to the fore. The mouth is the second region with the highest bacterial density after the intestines. Every day we swallow millions of bacteria in our spit. The last stage is; Inflammation in the intestine and Crohn’s disease. These bacteria, which are located on the intestinal wall, trigger the release of inflammatory proteins and prepare the ground for the development of Crohn’s disease. With the effect of bacteria, inflammation increases in the intestine; Inflammatory diseases such as Crohn come into play, “he said.
“Harvard’s striking research was conducted in 2024”
Prof. Dr. Ozkan, “Harvard’s studies carried out in 2024, Crohn’s disease diagnosed with individuals who have been diagnosed with Fusobacterium nucleatum bacteria in the mouths of 65 of the mouths were observed. In addition, the data obtained in Türkiye, periodontitis (chronic gum disease) in individuals with individuals. Together, the first contact with vaginal bacteria, such as breast -bacteria, and the bacteria that pass through the oral microbioma play an important role in the oral microbioma. It may be associated with both periodontitis (chronic gum disease) and other serious infections. “
