children problem

The question may be funny enough but not that funny to avoid answering it. As far as our visibility goes, our mouth may contain the teeth and the tongue but there is also the presence of many other things not visible to the naked eye. Diseases affecting the mouth and the throat are very common and it is mainly cavities and cancer that rule the chart. Children between the ages of 12-15 are the main sufferers of cavity. Cavity could cause severe pain, dysfunction, underweight and a very poor look on the face. Due to some of these diseases, some of the children may also tend to absent from school.

Cavity is not a disease that cannot be treated but the children coming from poor families face a tough time. Not just the children but also even the aged face this problem.

Gallstones also slow down the secretion of bile, which in turn reduces appetite, and the secretion of saliva from the glands. If there is less saliva in the mouth, it causes a lot of problems. In extreme cases the tooth gets decayed and several other tooth problem also arises. Our mouth is very prone to bacterial and viral diseases and this is caused due to the waste in the mouth that decomposes leading to toxins in the body. The bacteria of the mouth are called the Thrush and the virus is called the Herpes. The weak and unhealthy cells of the body are the main targets of these bacterial and viral diseases.
