Patient's question:
This weekend happens to be free from attending tutoring classes, so I called my good friend to go shopping and have dinner together. My group of good friends are all foodies. Today, one of my good friends said she knew of a hot pot restaurant with delicious fish that we should all go to. We agreed, and while we were having dinner, one friend suddenly said her teeth were hurting a lot. Could it be that using the wrong toothpaste can also lead to periodontitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, choosing the wrong toothpaste will not directly cause periodontitis, but if the toothpaste used is not regular and has poor cleaning ability, it can create an unhealthy oral environment. When you neglect your diet and suffer from bacterial infections, it becomes easier to develop periodontitis and other oral inflammatory conditions. It is recommended to use a toothpaste that suits you well and has good cleaning ability when brushing your teeth daily. Also, pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene.
