What can your teeth tell about your "masculinity"

Men need to be more careful - saving on dental care and their treatment can not only cause bad breath, but also add to you problems with erection. And men's health is a very important issue.

The connection of teeth and "dignity"

As a result of the study, it became known that men suffering from erectile dysfunction were also more likely to have chronic periodontitis, more specifically, in 79 percent of cases. Parodontosis is an infection due to which the gums begin to lag behind the teeth, forming a kind of "pockets" where bacteria can collect, damaging not only the teeth themselves, but also the bones of the jaw. Chronic inflammation caused by gum disease can lead to damage to endothelial cells that form all of the human blood vessels, including the male genital. The damage caused by the endothelium can lead to a violation of blood flow and, accordingly, to erectile dysfunction.

Can brushing your teeth help you with erectile dysfunction?

The researchers suggest that removing the infected tooth can reduce the effect of erectile dysfunction, and the erection will return to the man. However, this is an extreme case - there are other options. If the disease was detected in the early stages, the treatment can be simple, and you will only have to confine yourself to a couple of deep cleansing from the dentist. If the disease was discovered later, you may need an operation on the gums to get rid of the "pockets" and restore some bone loss. Once you have taken control of your disease, you need to visit the dentist every three months, and not in half a year, as it was before.

Further actions

People who once fell ill with periodontal disease are more likely to have a relapse in the future. So for you it is very important to take all the precautions and follow the symptoms. Most people who already have this disease do not feel pain until the disease is already in an advanced stage. So immediately contact the dentist if you have certain symptoms of the disease: swollen and reddened gums, blood begins to flow from them, you begin to notice that your mouth is unpleasantly smelling, teeth are loosened, and the gums are separated from them. A good moment is the fact that periodontal disease can be almost completely prevented. Simply brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with fluoride paste, and you should at least once in fact use the dental floss, and do not forget to visit the dentist for checks and regular cleansing so that you always have healthy teeth.
