More and more people are suffering from periodontitis now, and many have tried many methods without improvement. Whether periodontitis can be cured has become a topic of discussion. Faced with periodontitis, everyone is afraid that it cannot be cured. Next, let's learn about whether periodontitis is easy to treat?
Whether periodontal disease can be cured or not involves the standard of cure. For marginal gingivitis and hypertrophic gingivitis, as long as there are no systemic factors, such as pregnancy, diabetes packing, it can be completely cured. By thoroughly removing local irritants such as plaque and tartar, or adding appropriate medication treatment, inflammation subsides, bleeding stops, gum shape returns to normal, and oral hygiene is regularly maintained, gingivitis is completely cured.
Appropriate medication treatment can alleviate inflammation, stop bleeding, and restore the shape of the gums to normal. The treatment of periodontitis mainly focuses on local treatment, first removing the calculus above the gums (supragingival calculus), then removing the calculus inside the periodontal pocket (subgingival calculus), and scraping off the diseased dental bone containing a large amount of bacterial toxins in the periodontal pocket. After these treatments, gum redness and swelling can disappear, gum bleeding and periodontal pocket pus can disappear.
After the formation of periodontal pockets, medication treatment is usually carried out on the pockets. Various drugs can be placed inside the pockets to maintain a high concentration of drugs, eliminate various bacteria in the pockets, and achieve bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and astringent effects. After the above treatment, if the efficacy is not good, periodontal surgery is required. Patients with loose teeth caused by periodontitis can undergo different methods of tooth loosening fixation. For teeth with severe conditions and significant damage to periodontal tissue that cannot be preserved, they need to be extracted. In addition to local treatment, for those with significantly severe symptoms, systemic treatment, namely oral antibiotics, can be adopted.
