Most common reasons for periodontitis
The most common reasons of pariodontitis are:
- Plaque accumulation due to poor oral hygiene, overhang restorations, ill fitting crowns
- Malocclusion
- Stress
- Smoking
- Systemic disease such as diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes
Fortunately all these factors are easily controlled by;
- Optimizing tooth brushing, by starting at the back on the difficult accessible teeth.
- using an oral rinse
- using plaque tablets
- correction of crowding by getting braces
- Regular visitations to your dentist!
- Removing interdental plaque by flossing or using proxy brush?
