What causes periodontitis?

Female  29 years old 2018-04-15
Sometimes I don't brush my teeth in time after eating, and sooner or later I finish it with perfunctory care, and finally lead to periodontitis. What is the cause?

    Periodontitis is mostly caused by plaque, calculus, food impaction, poor restorations, bite trauma, etc. The gums are inflamed and swollen, and at the same time, the accumulation of plaque increases and spreads from the upper to the lower gingiva. Due to the characteristics of the subgingival micro-ecological environment, a large number of virulent periodontal pathogens, such as B. gingivalis, B. intermedia, and spirochetes, breed in the subgingival plaque, which aggravates and expands the inflammation of the gums, resulting Periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption cause periodontitis.
