Most people are familiar with such a problem as stomatitis. Very often stomatitis occurs because of diseases, and sometimes without any apparent reason. It is very difficult to predict the occurrence of this disease. But there are the main reasons, according to dentists, which can definitely provoke stomatitis.
1. Neglect of dental hygiene and dental visits
Often, problems arise when a person doesn't spend enough time on oral hygiene (Read more «What is the proper way to perform dental hygiene?») Infrequent visits to the dentist lead to neglected dental diseases, the spread of infection and as a consequence - the body is not able to fight and stomatitis occurs.
2. Viral or bacterial infections
Every person is exposed to hundreds of thousands of harmful microorganisms every day. Stomatitis can be caused by herpes viruses, staphylococci or streptococci. Usually, our immune system successfully copes with the body's defenses. But if pathogenic bacteria become a lot, in certain cases, it can not cope with the load. The microorganisms penetrate the mucosa and cause inflammation.
If you notice lesions on the oral mucosa, see your dentist immediately for antibacterial treatment.
3. Gastrointestinal problems
Our body is a holistic system that works as a single mechanism. Exacerbation of gastritis, dysbacteriosis or other diseases reduce the body's defense functions. And since the oral mucosa is most closely associated with the stomach, problems with it directly affect the oral cavity. If the cause of stomatitis is a complication of stomach diseases, the treatment of the underlying disease is carried out to begin with, and then the dentist will prescribe treatment methods for you.
4. Damage to the integrity of the mucosa
Injuries caused by foreign objects create wounds where bacteria can enter. This often happens to children because they like to put everything in their mouths.
5. Perpetrated stress
Severe stress also contributes to lowered immunity, which can lead to stomatitis.
6. Improper lifestyle and bad habits
Very often stomatitis is provoked by unbalanced diet and lack of vitamins, smoking and the habit of "snapping" seeds.
