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
