Two consensus emerged from the second day of the Congress of the Council of Municipal Secretaries of health, in Santos, São Paulo: the need to extend the funding and to improve the management of SUS in the State of São Paulo.

another aspect highlighted was the responsibility of the construction of the interfederativa, with municipalities, States and the Union assuming their statutory functions. The representative of the CROSP in the event, Marco Antonio Manfredini, noted that the municipalities paulistas are spending on average well over the constitutional requirement

.

“the State and the Union landing more resources in São Paulo, so that SUS can provide a better service to the population,” said Manfredini.

Another important aspect of the Congress has been the great participation of dental surgeons. Dozens of municipal secretariats of Health in the State are directed by surgeons-dentists.

“ CROSP’s work in defence of public health has increased the hiring of oral health professionals. How to stand out in the performance of their duties, the surgeons-dentists also begin to enlarge your space at the direction of SUS ”, commented Manfredini. />

Sedentariness and poor diet bring various health damage and increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. One of the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the prevention of periodontal problems.

study published in the August issue of the Journal of Periodontology, showed that people who kept good physical shape and practiced some type of exercise were less prone to this type of dental disease. “Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammation in gum, and in extreme cases can lead to loss of teeth due to bone resorption that support them, causing dental softening,” says Dr. Eduardo Rollo Duarte, dentist and periodontista. Gingivitis is a major cause of tooth loss in adults.

the study showed that illnesses like diabetes, heart disease and arrhythmias are related to oral health care. The research did a comparison of body mass index (BMI) of the participants and found that those who had lower BMI and practiced exercises often had fewer chances of getting periodontal diseases, of which the participants considered

sedentary.

incorrect feeding can lead to gingivitis and tooth decay. The substances ingested are basis for the formation of new tissue. If the diet is low in essential nutrients to the body, the mouth will be more vulnerable to infections. The practice of exercises and control of food ingested serves not only to have a body in shape, but also healthy. All health care are linked, you must take care of both the general health and oral health, because an illness ends up leading to another. Remembering that periodontal disease can cause other diseases, such as those mentioned above should be redoubled care.
