Q3:Is
periodontal disease preventable with a
good brushing?
A3:
Daily brushing of teeth is a fundamental
way to prevent periodontal disease. In
most cases, periodontal disease can be
prevented by mastering the way to remove
plaque, the chief cause of periodontal
disease, with a toothbrush. However, the
marginal areas between tooth and gingiva,
as well as between the teeth, are intricate
and it is almost impossible to completely
remove the stagnated plaque from those
areas. Therefore, if annual or semi-annual
professional mouth cleaning is combined,
periodontal disease can be prevented in
high rate with a proper brushing.
The shape of one's gum is unique to each
person and for some people, the use of
additional oral care products such as
interdental cleaner or dental floss may
be recommended. For the use of those oral
care products, we advise you to first
discuss their proper use with your dentist. |
