Tooth loss due to lack of knowledge
Some drinks may seem harmless to human health, but the truth is they are not; in fact, they can completely damage your chewing ability.
An American woman lost all her teeth and developed a strange illness because she drank tea every day. Doctors diagnosed the 47-year-old woman with osteofluoremia – a condition caused by excessive fluoride consumption.
The woman said she became addicted to drinking tea, consuming up to 100 tea bags a day since she was 17. When she experienced pain and numbness in her back, arms, legs, and hips, she went to the hospital for a check-up. She also noticed her teeth were becoming more brittle and gradually falling out.
Doctors believe that although fluoride helps strengthen teeth and prevent cavities, using excessive amounts—over 20mg a day, as this patient did—is beyond the kidneys' ability to process. This leads to the formation of mineral deposits on the bones, causing pain and stiffness.
After reducing her daily tea intake as advised by her doctor, this woman noticed an improvement in her health. She no longer experienced constant bone pain as before. In the near future, she hopes to stop drinking tea altogether so she can fully recover.
Be careful not to lose your teeth from cold water.
In summer, drinking cold water is a favorite pastime for everyone, especially children. However, this preference for ice-cold water can be detrimental to many people who cannot regulate the amount of cold water entering their bodies.
Normally, when you drink cold water, it enters your body and stays there for a long time. And if you do this every day, the cold water will accumulate more and more "toxins".
If taking a cold shower at night only occasionally results in sudden death, then regularly drinking cold water will have far more harmful effects on health.
According to doctors, consuming large amounts of ice over a long period can cause the following diseases: asthma, stomach pain, hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, sore throat, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, colds, rheumatism, frequent urination, hair loss, back pain, tooth loss, neck, nape, and shoulder pain, chronic headaches, memory loss, poor eyesight, lethargy and fatigue, fear of cold, toothache, boils, intestinal diseases, etc.
To protect your overall health and, in particular, your teeth, everyone should minimize their consumption of cold drinks, especially young children.
Tooth loss from drinking carbonated drinks.
Despite repeated warnings from dentists about the potential for sugary drinks to cause tooth decay, William Kennewell, an Australian hotel employee living in Salisbury, 15 miles north of Adelaide, completely ignored them. Now, at just 25 years old, he has to wear dentures. Kennewell even developed blood poisoning due to his addiction to sugary drinks.
Dr. Jason Armfield, a senior researcher at the Center for Oral Health Research, warned that certain brands of sugary drinks can cause cavities. In a survey of over 16,800 children, he found that approximately 56% of children aged 5-16 drink sugary drinks, including soda or fruit juice, every day.
Kennewll also acknowledged that the dentists' warnings were helpful, but he wondered how effective they would be, given that young people are very fond of drinking soda.
Tooth loss due to hormone therapy.
Driven by a desire to look like a girl, transgender woman Yoong (from South Korea) underwent extensive plastic surgery, accompanied by long-term use of antibiotics to combat infections and hormone replacement therapy. This is also the reason Yoong has a missing jaw and has had to live her life eating mashed tofu.
She never even dared to eat meals with her boyfriend; she would wait until he finished eating and went to do other things before taking out the tofu and eating it alone.
However, after participating in the 'Martian Virus' program, Yoong was given a model of dentures by the doctors to make eating easier.
