Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease (loosening of teeth) is not caused by decayed teeth, and even healthy teeth can be affected. Periodontal disease often starts between teeth where cleaning is more difficult.
Bacteria multiply and spread between teeth and gums and damage the root attachments. Periodontal disease is progressive and will eventually begin to loosen teeth if not taken care of properly.
User tips:
1. Clean your teeth twice a day.
2. Cleaning with interdental brushes, dental sticks or dental tape
should be included once a day. An interspace brush would also be
useful for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.
3. Call your dentist or dental hygienist for advice and instruction.
