Since thousands of years, in India, Dental treatment has been given through Ayurveda. However in the contemporary period there are two separate streams Allopathy and Dentistry, but in Ayurveda a very elaborate style of dental treatment and supportive tissuehas been described.
First of all we will discuss regarding a common disease of oral cavity. One of those is Periodontitis , also known as pyrrhoea. However nowadays there are dental professionals available, to treat the pyrrhoea, known as Dental Hygienist, people should take their services for the treatment of Periodontitis or gingivitis yet in Ayurveda the treatment is available for these since ancient time. Periodontitis is a painful disease however not a life threatening, but its consequences are some times very dangerous, those may be life threatening. In Ayurveda for Periodontitis it is said-
STRVANTI PUUYA RUDHIRAM CHALA DANT BHAVANTI CHA I
DANTVESHTAH SA VIGYEYO DUSHTSHONIT SAJBHAVAHA II
Means if there is bleeding from mouth, pus formation and teeth are loosen, of course there is periodontitis. Periodontitis is not only harmful for teeth but also for body. Periodontitis is actually result of not maintaining proper oral hygiene, if people do not brush at night, or do not brush in proper way, plaque formation starts in between teeth and gums, and become harden form of tarter, calculas. Plaque and tarter contains various bacteria. Porphyromonas Gingivals is a bacteria, that harm to oral cavity as well as, if reach to the other part of body through any cut inside the oral cavity, may harm to the body. For e. g If it reach to the blood stream it make plaque in the arteries and harden it. This is known as Atherosclerosis. It create problems in flow of blood in arteries and blockage the heart. Problems of hypertension may also starts and and may lead to the danger of stroke. Endocarditis may also happen which is life threatening. But we can protect ourselves from these, Prevention is always better than cure, Ayurveda mainly focus on the Prevention, however treatment is also available in Ayurveda. But along with the treatment, it is also essential to keep the oral hygiene maintain. Use fibrous diet as much as possible, avoid sweetened and maida, always do brush at night before sleep with correct method. Contd……….
