| Oral malodour predominantly originates from the tongue coating, gingival crevice, and periodontal pockets. |
| Oral cavity conditions that can produce halitosis are dentures, chronic periodontal disease, coated tongue and Vincent's angina. |
| Teeth may be damaged by dental caries, trauma, erosion, attrition, and abrasion or lost through periodontal disease. |
| Non-routine dental expenses, including crowns, bridgework, periodontal and orthodontic treatment, do qualify for tax relief. |
| You probably know that flossing removes plaque from between teeth and at the gum line, where periodontal disease often begins. |
| The fibres of the periodontal ligament attach through cementum to the dentine surface. |
