Description

From the Publisher: "According to federal government estimates, employed adults lose more than 164 million hours of work every year due to oral health problems and dental visits. Having unhealthy teeth and gums can leave patients feeling insecure or ashamed about missing, cracked, chipped, crooked, or stained smiles. Cosmetic dental concerns, however, are not the only issue. Recent research has uncovered surprising links between poor oral health and an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health complications. Fortunately, research also suggests that many dental problems can be prevented with daily hygiene and preventive care checkups." Dental Care and Oral Health Sourcebook, Third Edition provides updated information about the structure of the mouth and teeth, age-related oral health concerns, and the link between poor oral health and systemic disease. It describes some of the most common dental concerns, such as plaque, cavities, tooth pain, cracked teeth, and gum disease, and it discusses oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontic and root canal treatments, and orthodontic and cosmetic procedures. Jaw and mouth disorders and other health conditions that impact oral care arc also addressed, and the book concludes with a glossary of related terms and a directory of additional resources.

  • 6週重建齒質飲食法: 遠離口腔疾病,喚醒自癒力,逆轉慢性病
    By 史蒂芬•林

    你容易蛀牙,時常牙齦出血又口臭? 換遍牙膏也無法紓緩牙齒敏感問題? 小心!這是身體在向你求救! ✲牽一髮動全身的「牙結石」──鈣化的牙菌斑,反映出人體無法將礦物質運送到該去的器官與組織上,於是才會堆積在牙齒上形成小石塊;而當體內的鈣質無法被有效利用,則會影響到人 體細胞生長以及對抗癌症與慢性病的能力。 ✲長期煎熬的「牙齦出血」──牙齦出血則是代表著口腔正處於慢性發炎中。當嘴巴與腸胃道的微生物群失衡,人體中的免疫系統就會反應過度。如果長期忽視的話,恐會促發心血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖。  ✲讓腦部缺氧的「磨牙」──發育不全的下顎骨,容易使呼吸道塌陷,刺激交感神經系統,即使在睡眠狀況下,身體仍處在壓力狀態裡。因此而導致的長期缺氧,容易提高失智風險;而磨牙患者也多半有著消化方面的困擾。  ✲與長智慧無關的「智齒」──加工食品的過度發展、現代飲食中從缺的營養素等,再再導致顱顎發育不全、限縮口腔與上下顎骨的空間,讓該長出來的智齒被埋在牙齦裡。當拔除時一不小心,則會導致嘴唇、舌頭永久性麻痺。 牙齒是健康的守門員,它的健康比你想像的更重要我們多少知道如何照顧與保養心臟、血糖、頭髮。可是面對每天用來吃飯、說話,並位於臉部正中央的「牙齒」,你我關心的,也只有齒列矯正、牙齒美白等美觀上的需求。 盤整人體的全數器官中,沒有任何一處像「牙齒」般,如此頻繁地被修整、拔除、甚至是重建。根據2017年衛生福利部統計處的統計顯示,牙科已擠下洗腎科,成為門診醫療費的第二名。 事實上,人類的顎骨是個柔軟的結構,會根據你的飲食狀態而有所變化。它不僅是牙齒生長的根基,影響層面也包含其他身體結構,例如呼吸道、消化道、心血管、骨骼結構及保護大腦的顱骨。 現今所吃的食物,約有72%跟過去大不相同,這帶給我們智齒阻生、咬合不正、牙弓歪斜,甚至改變人體骨骼姿勢、鼻咽呼吸道、代謝氧氣的能力,甚或是臉型等諸多現代疾病。  6週重建齒質飲食法將告訴你:*訓練上下顎、臉部與呼吸道的強健*攝取具有健康表觀遺傳訊號的食物 *慎選及過濾口腔所需的營養素*維持口腔菌叢的平衡及多樣性  本書不會指明每種食物實際該吃多少分量,也不會要你剔除日常飲食中的某些食物。而是要你從根本改變舊有的飲食觀念,並從功能營養學的角度重新看待食物。 唯有重整飲食觀念、改變攝取食物的方式,我們才能讓牙本質、牙髓、骨骼不斷修建、再生、養護。也才能從現代飲食中掌控口腔健康、恢復整體健康狀態。其實天生沒有蛀牙、毋需拔智齒或齒顎矯正的人,往往只是一時好運。我們的牙齒內部是生機盎然的:礦物質、維生素、蛋白質,與口腔菌叢需維持特定平衡狀態,整顆牙齒才會健壯。別等到問題浮現再來修補!現在就開始重拾真食物,「吃」出強健的牙齒,以及解救你的腸道與慢性病。  海內外醫師強力推薦 劉博仁/科博特功能醫學診所院長、台灣基因營養功能醫學會理事長徐振祥/晨光牙醫診所院長、國內人工植牙和牙周病重建大師呂美寶/功能醫學暨營養學營養師、食物的力量粉絲團——真誠推薦 名人推薦 「這本書絕對是您保健牙齒、照顧全身,以及達到全身抗發炎很重要的一本平安書,我極力推薦。」——劉博仁/科博特功能醫學診所院長、台灣基因營養功能醫學會理事長 「這是針對打造全人健康所提出的絕佳飲食指引,本書清楚闡述口腔疾病,如蛀牙、牙周病與牙齒歪斜的致病機轉,以及上述機轉是如何影響我們全身的健康。」——馬克•海曼(Mark Hyman, M.D.)醫師,自然醫學領袖 「當我們提到整體的健康時,牙齒健康通常都會被我們忽略掉。但如果你知道糖尿病、阿茲海默症等疾病都和牙齒、牙齦息息相關,你還會忽視口腔的健康嗎?林醫師的《6週重建齒質飲食法》著作,不僅提出了強而有力的護齒觀點,也說明口腔健康對我們整體健康的影響。」——羅伯•沃伏(Robb Wolf,《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》暢銷作家,著有《舊時器時代飲食法(The...
