In the case of adults and seniors, periodontitis has replaced caries as the number one tooth killer. Furthermore, this also interacts with widespread diseases like diabetes or heart attacks. But nearly 70 percent of Germans are unsuspecting of the connection between insufficient dental hygiene and the development of periodontitis. This is the outcome of a recent representative study carried out by the German dentists’ institute, working alongside scientists of the universities of Dresden and Gießen.
Therefore, the public should be further educated. With the help of good dental hygiene along side regular medical attendance, periodontitis can be treated or at least be prevented from progressing.
The study “The German nations’ knowledge concerning Periodontitis” is available for download at www.kzbv.de
