这5个口腔问题让人很绝望~~~

日常最容易碰到的五大口腔问题，口臭、睡觉磨牙、牙龈出血、口干症、粘膜异常，你中了哪几个？别以为这些都是小毛病，无关痛痒，其实往往是我们身体发出的危险信号！

In daily life we always come up with these five oral problems, fetid breath, teeth grinding during sleep, gingival bleeding, xerostomia, and mucosal abnormality. Which one do you have? Please do not ignore them and treat them as slight defects. Sometimes they are danger signals sent from our bodies.

不可描述的味道——口臭

Unspeakable smell - Fetid breath

口臭并不仅仅是因为口腔清洁不到位或是吃了特殊食物导致的，有时候是疾病BOSS在背后作怪，派口臭出来提醒你的身体的某个零件出了问题，而且这个问题恐怕还很严重哦！

Sometimes fetid breath is not just caused by inadequate cleaning or eating special food, but sent by BOSS Disease to warn you that there is something going wrong with your body,which might be a severe problem.

牙结石和牙垢间存在大量的厌氧菌，这些厌氧菌仗着牙结石和牙垢提供的保护伞，轻而易举地躲避了唾液的冲洗。它们在口腔里肆意妄为，分解食物残渣，制造口臭，同时还会进一步破坏牙龈，诱发牙周疾病。除此之外，舌苔也容易吸引大量的厌氧菌居住，造成口臭。

Vast anaerobic bacteria exist among dental stones and calculi, and they treat dental stones and calculi as protective umbrella and escape from saliva wash easily. They recklessly decompose food residue, make bad breath, damage gingiva and cause periodontal disease. Besides, coated tongue can also attract plenty of anaerobic bacteria and cause bad breath.

如果你不想不想被好工作拒之门外，不想她kiss的时候拼命推开你……

If you don’t want be refused by good job and pushed away when you kiss you......

建议平常吃东西一定要多咀嚼，多喝水！不仅要好好刷牙，还得刷舌头，每天至少规范刷牙 2 次、用牙线或牙缝刷清洁牙缝、定期看牙医才能预防口臭。

You’d better chew more and drink more water when eating things, brush teeth and tongue two times every day, clean teeth gap with dental floss and inter-dental brush, and visit the dentist regularly. Only this can prevent you from fetid breath.

随便刷牙就出血——牙周病

Bleeding when brush teeth - Periodontal disease

长在土地里的大树，如果周围的土壤松动、干涸，那么大树也就无法生长。牙齿也和大树一样长在牙周组织中，如果不注意口腔卫生，牙周致病菌便会乘虚而入，形成牙菌斑、牙石，牙龈炎、出血也就接踵而至。

If the soil around trees become loose and dry, then trees can not grow normally, which is the same with teeth growing in periodontal tissues. If you don’t pay attention to oral hygiene, periodontal pathogenic bacteria will get a chance to step in causing dental plague and stones, so are gingivitis and teeth bleeding.

如果继续置之不理，牙周组织就会慢慢受到侵害，牙齿周围的骨头被吸收，牙齿就会慢慢松动、甚至缺失。

If we keep ignoring it, then teeth tissues will be damaged and alveolar bones will be absorbed, and then tooth loosing and missing will come along with it.

所以遇到刷牙出血的情况大家可别不当回事，及时去医院进行口腔检查，定期进行牙周治疗才是上上策。

So when it comes with teeth bleeding when you brush your teeth, please do not ignore it, you should go to hospital having an oral examination and doing periodontal treatments regularly. This is the best choice.

每到夜深咯吱咯吱磨牙——磨牙症

Grinding noise in the midnight - Bruxism

磨牙是什么原因？有些人在睡觉时会发出咯咯的响声，就像在咀嚼食物一样。有的心理因素如性格内向可能会发生磨牙，人体缺乏某些微量元素也可能导致磨牙，但最常见导致磨牙的原因是咬合的障碍。

What’s the reason for teeth grinding? Some people are sleeping with gurgling noise, like chewing food. Psychological factors and absence of micro-elements can both cause teeth grinding, but the most common reason for teeth grinding is occlusal disorder.

牙颌畸形、缺牙、牙齿缺损或过长、单侧咀嚼等，可引起咬合障碍。所以在深睡眠时，机体就会增加潜意识的下颌运动，通过摩擦牙齿这个自纠性动作，以求达到咬合平衡。

Malocclusion, anodontia, teeth defect, teeth expanded, or one side chewing can all cause occlusal disorder. So when you are in deep sleeping, your body will subconsciously increase mandibular movements to reach occlusal balance.

磨牙是一种无意识的过程，它产生的咀嚼力非常大，是一般咀嚼力的 10 倍。长期磨损牙可导致牙冠变短，引发牙本质敏感、牙髓病、根尖周病、牙齿折断等疾病，严重的还会咀嚼肌疼痛，颞下颌关节疼痛、弹响。

Teeth grinding is an unconscious movement, so its chewing power is 10 times stronger than normal chewing power. Long time teeth grinding can cause teeth crown shorter, leading to dentine sensitivity, pulp disease, periapical disease, and tooth fracture such diseases. What’s worse, it can also lead to chewing muscles pain, temporo-mandibular joint pain, and clicking.

所以，有磨牙症的话就尽早到去看医生，即使找不到原因，也能戴上牙垫保护牙齿。

So, you should go to see a dentist if you have bruxism, even if they couldn’t find a reason, at least you can put on a bite-block to protect teeth.

明明不渴但总是口干——口干症

Dry mouth without being thirsty - Xerostomia

其实很多人有这样的疑问，特别是上了年纪的人，调查发现，30%~50% 的老年人有不同程度的口干。

Actually a lot of people have this kind of question, especially for elderly people. Research finds that 30%-50% elderly people have different levels of Xerostomia.

除了腺体萎缩、吃太咸、喝水少等生理性原因外， 很多疾病也会导致口干，如糖尿病、贫血、免疫疾病、甲亢、长期戴假牙、唾液腺损伤等。此外，口干患者还容易长蛀牙。

Except glandular atrophy, eat salty and less water such physiological causes, many other diseases can also cause xerostomia, like diabetes, anemia, immune disease, hyperthyroidism, long time wearing dentures, and salivary damage. Besides, xerostomia patients can easily have caries.

下次遇到豪饮几杯不解渴的人，别忙着称「好汉」，先让医生鉴定一下。

Next time when you meet someone keep drinking without quenching thirst, let him go to hospital to check first before you give him your thumb.

嘴里有白斑，有溃疡——粘膜异常

Leukoplakia and dental ulcer in mouth - Mucosal abnormality

正常的口腔黏膜可以用 6 个词来描述：湿润、柔软、粉红、有弹性、光滑、连续。

Normal oral mucosa can be described using six words: moist, soft, pink, stretchy, smooth, and connected.

有些粘膜异常并没有太多不舒服的感觉，比如口腔白斑，可能只是嘴里看起来有点粗糙、发涩，却不痛、不痒、不溃疡。但口腔白斑属于癌前病变，如果任由其发展，癌变几率是很高的（10%-30%）。

Some Mucosal abnormality, like leukoplakia, doesn’t have too many uncomfortable feelings, which might look rough and harsh, but not hurt, itchy, or ulcerous. Leukoplakia belongs to precancerous lesion, and if you let it be, canceration odds would be higher(10%-30%).

此外，口腔癌也可能只是长期不愈合的、定期发作的溃疡，早期没有任何疼痛等不适的感觉。所以，当口腔粘膜经常出现异常时，要引起足够重视。

In addition, oral cancer can also be long time non-healing and periodic onset ulcer, and has no uncomfortable feelings in early stage, so you have to pay enough attention when mucosal abnormality shows up.

这五个口腔问题，不仅与我们的口腔健康密切相关，还影响着我们的全身健康，大家一定要重视，注重口腔日常清洁，更要定期口腔检查等。

These five oral problems not only connect with our oral health, but also affect our whole body health, so you have to attach enough importance to it with daily oral hygiene and regular oral examination.
