Oral Health: Major Key to Extending Healthy Life-span
It has recently been growing more evident that maintaining healthy teeth and good oral health is directly connected to improving people’s QOL (Quality of Life). As a number of scientific evidences have highlighted that, in particular, periodontal diseases create an adverse impact on systemic illnesses such as diabetes, while chronic Inflammation worsens periodontal diseases, aggravation of oral environment has increasingly been known to affect not only such functional aspects as eating, speaking and swallowing, but also diverse systemic illnesses including diabetes and pneumonia. Maintaining good oral health is the major key to extending healthy longevity amid such circumstances, and society is seeking dental care to support people's QOL in “eating and speaking” more than ever.
Importance of Synergy in Activities between Professionals (Dental Care Practitioners) and Individuals (Patients)
In the field of dentistry, professionals correspond to dentists, dental hygienists and dental technicians,
while individuals mean patients. Surveys have indicated that end-users are willing to use or try any new methods to improve their oral health, namely self-care at home and dentist’s evaluation of daily self-care, etc. Since it has also been revealed that patients recognize dentists as their most reliable source of information and consultant when it comes to their oral health, dentists are considered to be able to give their patients positive influence and bring about favorable educational effects.
