【Dr. Chen Talks About Teeth and Oral Cavity: Dare to Brush Your Teeth, Risk Failing Your Semester?!】

  This research of periodontology was an experiment conducted by Harald Löe, a Norwegian professor and dentist in periodontology from 1963 to 1965. He asked students of the department of dentistry to stop brushing their teeth for two weeks, and then resume brushing every day for two weeks. During the experiment, the students’ oral plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were observed.
  The results showed that in the first two weeks without brushing teeth, the students’ PI and GI scores increased significantly (that means the oral hygiene deteriorated rapidly), and in the next two weeks after they resumed brushing their teeth every day, the students’ PI and GI scores dropped rapidly again (the oral hygiene was significantly improved). From the results, it can be seen that brushing teeth every day is very important and irreplaceable for the maintenance of oral hygiene.
  Incidentally, the theory of this reference has not been overturned so far, and it is one of the bibles of periodontology. Until now, all research and clinical treatment about periodontology are based on this.
  I have always advocated that owners must brush their dogs and cats’ teeth. This reference is also the basis. Dogs and cats have a much lower chance of dental caries because of the difference in oral pH and bacterial flora from humans. However, in general clinically, the incidence of periodontal disease is very high, so I still hope that the owner can help dogs and cats to brush their teeth every day, maintain good oral hygiene and health.
