Asthmatics Get more Cavities
Than normal kids for studies are showing they are more prone to dental caries or cavities and other dental issues. It may have genetic links but more study is needed to determine the direct link. Understanding the mechanisms that bring about the surprising relationship of asthma and dental health would give better treatment and possibly prevent dental caries.
The link between the disease and the occurrence of dental caries is still wuite vague, maybe due to medical reasons such as medicine that impacts the bone growth activity of the body or some other physical relationship. Oral health should be emphasized more onto kids who do suffer from asthma coupled with more frequent visits to the dentist for good measure.
