The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) is carrying out an informative campaign about the relationship between gum diseases and cavities.

A very close connection by which we must take care of our oral hygiene, and in which experts in oral health have a decisive role when it comes to educating and encouraging their patients in terms of oral health.

Oral hygiene, as we have already mentioned on other occasions, is closely related to other pathologies and, of course, very directly with caries diseases, the most widespread on the planet.

In this sense, the role of experts in the care of your mouth, such as YOTUEL or your dentist, is essential to avoid these ailments.

For this, in order to disseminate this important information, the European Federation of Periodontology has produced different materials such as videos and publications.

From the EFP they tell us that periodontal diseases and cavities can have a negative impact on the quality of life of people who suffer from them.

Dental plaque and biofilm are the main causes of both diseases.

For this reason, all members of the dental health team play an important role in educating and motivating patients.

They should focus on identifying risks, explaining oral hygiene instructions to patients, recommending the use of proper toothpaste, following a balanced diet, and encouraging the avoidance of bad habits such as smoking and sugar consumption.

Periodontal diseases are indicators of other health problems. In this sense, dentists must also inform their patients of this at the time they suffer from these ailments.

Because maintaining healthy teeth has multiple benefits.

For all this, remember to visit your dentist for check-ups at least twice every year and use appropriate products in your daily hygiene such as YOTUEL Pharma B5.
