Periodontitis can be caused by traumatic occlusion, plaque, calculus and other factors.
1. Traumatic bite. This is mainly due to excessive force, abnormal orientation of the teeth during occlusion, or frequent chewing of hard foods, making the periodontal tissue of a person unable to withstand this force. Such behavior can lead to periodontal damage and periodontitis. Avoid hard foods such as nuts, melon seeds, etc.
2, dental plaque. This is mainly formed by bacteria on the surface of the teeth, various food residues and pigments attached to the teeth, or epithelial cells shed in the mouth, which is the main cause of periodontitis. Poor oral hygiene can also cause plaque. Therefore, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth properly after eating to avoid food residues and pigments remaining on your teeth or gums.
3, dental calculus. This is mainly caused by further deterioration of dental plaque. When plaque deposits or deposits on teeth for a long time, calcification occurs on the tooth surface, which eventually leads to periodontitis. These include supragingival calculus, which can be seen with the naked eye. If calculus forms, most of it cannot be removed by brushing, which can lead to more severe periodontitis.
Patients with periodontitis should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene because after periodontal treatment, the calculus around the teeth is removed. If you don’t pay attention to oral hygiene, don’t brush your teeth, or plug your teeth frequently, new calculus can slowly build up and create new irritations. Therefore, it is very important to protect oral hygiene. Brush your teeth every day after meals, and you can carefully clean every gap with a floss or toothbrush to maintain the effectiveness of your periodontal treatment.
After suffering from periodontitis, patients should usually eat more foods rich in vitamins and fruits, especially foods containing vitamin B, because vitamin B can not only help the human body digest, but also promote the repair of oral periodontal tissue.
