The infection affects the immune system and human organs.
Dentist-therapist Artur Tumashevich warned about the serious consequences of neglected caries. An unnoticed infection can cause damage to internal organs, including the heart, and be fatal.
Patients most often turn to dentists only when the tooth is already destroyed and causes pain. Meanwhile, neglected caries causes damage to the dental pulp, and then the disease flows into periodontitis with cysts and granulomas.
“But this and other similar lesions are not the worst, because the immune system of the body suffers along with them. This is a dangerous manifestation, for example, of a disease such as bacterial endocarditis. And this is already a defeat of the heart, ”the doctor explained.
It is impossible to start caries so that the infection does not spread to the internal organs.
