Plaque is the initial factor of periodontal disease, so the treatment of periodontal disease should first remove plaque and prevent the re-formation of plaque.
In the basic treatment stage, it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of doctors and patients in the treatment of periodontal disease.
Doctors should try their best to eliminate or reduce the factors that cause plaque retention, growth and re-formation, affect patients' oral hygiene measures and promote the progress of periodontal disease.
Patients should be responsible for daily removal and control of supragingival plaque. Brushing teeth is the most important means for people to remove dental plaque and prevent the occurrence, development and recurrence of periodontal disease.
The main purpose of brushing teeth is to remove dental plaque, because only dental plaque can form a stable attachment on the tooth surface. Impure substances such as dental calculus and tartar can only stay on the tooth surface through dental plaque, which can cause tooth inflammation, bleeding and even loosening and falling off.
Most people have only one pair of permanent teeth in their life, and dental caries occur slowly, but they can't repair and regenerate themselves after tooth injury. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a correct and good habit of brushing teeth and protecting teeth from childhood, and always observe whether the teeth (especially the big teeth at the back are prone to dental caries) have black dental caries and so on.
If it needs to be treated in time, otherwise the dental caries will become more and more serious, and even teeth need to be filled and extracted. In addition, teeth can be washed once every two or three years, which is beneficial to washing away dental calculus that cannot be removed by brushing, alleviating periodontitis and delaying dental plaque deposition.
