BrushO：Oral Health for Achieving Longevity

Mar 13

Have you ever wondered how to live longer and healthier than most people, especially with global life expectancy on the rise? Scientists have identified key factors that influence longevity, including diet, exercise, and genetics. However, there’s a crucial yet often overlooked factor: oral health.

A growing body of research indicates a strong connection between oral health and overall well-being. It not only affects your ability to chew and your appearance but also reduces the risk of chronic diseases, improves quality of life, and may even extend your lifespan.

Why Oral Health is Intrinsically Linked to Longevity

• According to Nature, oral health and periodontal disease are associated with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoporosis, pneumonia, and rheumatoid arthritis.
• The oral cavity performs a multitude of functions, including mastication, food intake and swallowing, articulation and phonation, respiration, salivation, and taste. Food intake, swallowing, and respiration directly impact life prognosis, and their relationship with longevity is well-documented. Deterioration of chewing function has been reported to correlate with overall health decline, attributed to worsened nutritional status.
• As per THE LANCET, potential mechanisms linking poor oral health to increased mortality risk include: oral microbiome dysbiosis leading to heightened immune response or infection, unresolved chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, physical frailty, difficulty with social interactions (which may make seeking oral care more challenging), and compromised mental health.
• A study conducted in the United States, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Japan showed that individuals with a higher number of teeth exhibited a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular-related mortality compared to those with fewer teeth. The fewer the teeth, the higher the mortality risk.
• Edentulous individuals had a 32% higher mortality risk than subjects with 26–30 teeth, and a 20% higher risk than those with 1–15 teeth. Individuals with insufficient natural chewing function (fewer than 10 upper and 6 lower teeth) had a 15% higher mortality risk than those with adequate function.

Why Traditional Oral Care Falls Short of Ensuring a Healthy Life

Globally, nearly half the population (approximately 45% or 3.5 billion people) suffers from oral diseases, with dental caries, periodontal disease, and tooth loss being among the most common. However, traditional oral care methods have significant limitations, hindering effective oral health maintenance and indirectly impacting overall health and longevity.

Limitations of Traditional Brushing:

While brushing is the most fundamental oral care practice, many lack awareness of proper brushing techniques, often falling short in brushing duration, pressure, or method, resulting in inadequate oral cleaning. Moreover, traditional toothbrushes fail to provide precise monitoring of brushing effectiveness, personalized cleaning feedback, or long-term guidance for optimizing brushing habits.

Lack of Personalized Oral Health Management:

Most individuals receive only one or two (or even no) dental check-ups annually, leading to a lack of awareness of their oral health status. Concurrently, low oral health literacy means many seek care only upon experiencing significant discomfort, often missing the window for optimal prevention and treatment. Furthermore, due to limited or costly dental resources in some regions, many oral health issues remain unresolved.

Only by adopting more scientific brushing methods combined with personalized oral health management can we effectively improve quality of life, maintain overall health, and achieve longer, healthier lives.
