What Can Cause a Burst of Infection Activity?

People with periodontal disease have low resistance to periodontal bacteria. This causes an ongoing gum infection that grows in-bursts of activity. Each time it grows, more support for your teeth is lost. Some factors that can cause this to occur may include:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Dental plaque
  • Smoking
  • Genetic factors
  • Stress or tension
  • Diet
  • Age
  • Illness
  • Bad bite
  • Systemic Illness
  • Smoking / Tobacco
  • Grinding
