Hidden inflammations – invisible threats to your health
Often asymptomatic, inflammations known as dental nodules, hidden inside the oral cavity, can place a severe strain on the body. They push the immune system into constant battle, while the nodule itself can, on the long run, trigger secondary diseases such as:
- heart and circulatory issues
- joint inflammation
- skin problems
- eye inflammation
- chronic fatigue.
What is a nodule and what makes it dangerous?
Nodules are asymptomatic, chronic inflammations, which let bacteria and toxins reach other parts of the body through the lymphatic circulation. This triggers a constant immune response, which our body is unable to fully eliminate.
The most common sources of nodules are:
- the oral cavity, teeth, oral structures
- tonsils, pharynx, airways
- nasal cavity, sinuses
- intestinal system
- genitalia
Dental nodules carry special risk
There are two types of nodules in the oral cavity:
Open nodules, such as gingivitis or parodontitis create parodontal sacs that are connected to the connective tissue and the capillaries. This way, bacteria can enter the bloodstream during chewing or toothbrushing.
Closed nodules can appear after dental procedures, such as incomplete root fillings, inflammations around implants, or improperly closed dental prosthetics.
This is what makes a checkup every 6 months so important, especially after implants, root treatments, or prosthetics. Regular monitoring and personalised dental hygiene treatments help prevent pathological processes.
