Daily Water

Proper moisture is an essential condition for maintaining the homeostasis of the body, enhancing immunity, and preventing constipation, and it is an indispensable substance for maintaining human life and health. As the bacteria that cause oral disease are affected by water intake, there is a strong relationship between water intake and oral disease. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of daily water intake on oral disease. The data analyzed were from a seven-year period (2010–2017) from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, conducted annually by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Out of a total of 48,422 people, 134 people in the ‘<1 cup’ group, 27,223 people in the ‘1–4 cups’ group, 14,693 people in the ‘5–7 cups’ group and 6372 people in the ‘>7 cups’ group were selected as subjects. Each time a person drank one less cup of water per day, the prevalence of periodontal disease increased by 1.018 times, the prevalence of dental caries increased by 1.032 times, and the experience of dental caries increased by 1.075 times. Even in Model 2, for which age and gender were adjusted, there was a significant effect. In addition, there was a significant impact in Model 3, which adjusted for oral health behavior, except for permanent caries prevalence. Based on the above results, oral health behavior and state were positive in those who consumed more water per day. Therefore, it is suggested that the government’s active promotion of water intake recommendations and policies should be prepared to include water intake as a component of improving oral health.

Abstract Background: Proper moisture is an essential condition for maintaining the homeostasis of the body, enhancing immunity, and preventing constipation, and it is an indispensable substance for maintaining human life and health. The bacteria that cause oral disease are affected by water intake. Therefore, this study aims to compare the relationship between dental caries and periodontal disease according to the amount of water drank per day.Methods: Among the data of the National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted annually by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the data for 7 years (2010-2017) were analyzed. Out of a total of 64,758 people, 134 people in the ‘< 1 cup’ group, 27,223 people in the ‘1-4 cups’ group, and 25,877 people in the ‘5 cups ≤’ group were selected as subjects.Results: As a result, the prevalence of periodontal disease increased by 1.018 times, the prevalence of dental caries increased by 1.032 times, and the experience of dental caries increased by 1.075 times each time a person drank one less cup of water per day. Even in model 2, for which age and gender were adjusted, there was a significant effect. In addition, there was significant impact in Model 3, which adjusted oral health behavior, except for permanent caries prevalence. Based on the above results, oral health behaviors and state were positive in those who consumed a lot of water per day.Conclusions: Therefore, it is considered that the government’s active promotion of water intake recommendations and policies should be prepared so that water intake can become a habit to improve oral health.

The articles on dental caries in children in the August 1974 issue of Pediatrics are interesting and made me think about the following aspect of fluoridation. As far as I can find out, none of the presently available formulas have any fluoride in them. Would it not be a good idea to add an appropriate quantity of fluoride to all the formulas so that we can make sure that babies do get fluoride from birth? Even though a majority of the babies live in areas where the water is fluoridated, the amount of daily water intake (as plain water) in the first six months of life is negligible.

The Right

Water is a substance that the human body needs in order to survive. Drinking the right amount of water has many health benefits, including maximum physical performance, high energy levels, and improved brain function. Dehydration occurs when the body uses or loses more fluid than it takes in. When dehydration happens, the body doesn’t have enough fluids in it to carry out its normal functions. In older adults, dehydration is the most common disorder that can occur. As adults get older, the body’s fluid reserve becomes smaller, and the ability to process and conserve water is reduced. We have designed a sensor to track to the amount of water put into the body. This monitor will help seniors, especially those in a nursing home, to track their daily water intake. The sensor works with other personalized data to create a dashboard to their medical provider for better health care. There are still some limitations of the sensor. We will continue to improve the accuracy of measurement and the material we used.

Background and objectives: The primary oral disease during adolescence is dental caries. Less is known about the caries prevalence, oral health behavior, and sweets nutritional habits in Romanian adolescents. The objective of this study was to assess the actual caries prevalence among Romanian adolescents in a representative area of Romania, Cluj, and to correlate with oral hygiene behaviors and dietary sugary foods intake. Materials and methods: We have done a cross-sectional study of 650 adolescents aged 10 to 19-years-old (average age 15.3 ± 2.8). We performed the oral dental examination according to the WHO methodology, calculated the number of decayed, missing (due to caries), and filled teeth (DMFT index), assessed the oral hygiene and dietary behaviors using a two-section valid questionnaire and statistically analyzed the interrelation between DMFT, oral hygiene and eating behaviors by multivariate statistical analysis. Results: (a) The caries prevalence in the adolescent population enrolled in the study was 95.5%; (b) the mean DMFT was 3.13 ± 2.0, without significant differences between the urban and rural adolescents (p = 0.253); lower in females than males (p < 0.050), (c) more than one third (33.7%, n = 219) of teenagers are seldom or never brush their teeth in the evening; (c) 40.6% of adolescents are missing the regular annual dental check-ups leading to an increased DMFT as shown in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.038); and (d) there is an increased prevalence of caries with age (p = 0.020), and with sugary sweetened beverages consumption (p = 0.028). Conclusions: Our study evidenced a persistent high caries prevalence in Romanian teenagers. Their dietary habits and irregular dental check-up were associated with the occurrence of dental conditions.
