 The prevalent diseases we have in our mouth are the dental decay and the disease on the gums.
Both of them are caused by bacteria that accumulate in the areas we don’t touch. What happens is that we tend to concentrate our cleaning in the central areas and other areas we just don’t reach. In the areas we don’t touch bacteria will develop and once they develop they will be able to cause the disease. So, if we understand the process of the disease, we can intervene in this process and stop it from happening. We can have a very healthy oral cavity and a very good smile.  Plaque control is the regular removal of microbial plaque and the prevention of its accumulation on the teeth and adjacent gingival surfaces.
Microbial plaque is the major cause of periodontal diseases. Patient cooperation in daily plaque removal is critical to long-term success of all periodontal treatment. Plaque formation begins on the surfaces between teeth where the toothbrush does not reach. Masses of plaque first develop in the molar and premolar areas, followed by the proximal surfaces of the anterior teeth and the facial surfaces of the molars and premolars. Patients consistently leave more plaque on the posterior teeth than the anterior teeth, with surfaces between teeth retaining the highest amounts of plaque. Plaque control measures: Tooth brush Dentifrices Dental floss Interdental brushes Dental hygiene Proper oral hygiene practices control periodontal disease.  The oral health promotion philosophy is a different approach to dentistry. It’s a preventive approach compared to traditional dentistry. This philosophy was originated in the Scandinavian countries in the 70’s. It deals mainly with the understanding about the process of the dental decay and the disease on the gums. In traditional dentistry, the dentist acts mainly as a mechanicist restorative agent. Patients go to the dentist to check for problems and fix them. In the end, they go home with zero understanding of what is going on in their mouth. In the oral health promotion, the dentist acts more as a guide. We try to clarify and share knowledge with our patient, empowering them to intervene in the process of the disease by changing certain behaviours and perceptions about how it happens.
