Often patients of dental clinics complain about problems in winter.

Doctor Yulia Novikova explained why this happens.

She shared the details during an interview with Gazeta.Ru .

She noted that the reason is the decrease in temperature, as well as the fact that there is an increase in common diseases.

Immunity also decreases, and as a result, a good environment for the development of microorganisms is created.

At the same time, chronic processes become worse.

As the specialist noted, exacerbation of the chronic form of periodontitis is more common in the autumn-winter period.

Most often, people complain of sensitivity during eating, but there are severe forms of purulent infection.

It all depends on how advanced the case is.

If you want to avoid such problems, it is important to have regular check-ups with your doctor, not ignore pain, and visit your dentist.
