1, general treatment
The purpose of treatment is to eliminate local pathogenic factors and minimize inflammation. Mainly includes the following aspects:
① Educate and guide patients with oral hygiene knowledge, control oral plaque and maintain oral hygiene.
② Go to the hospital stomatology department or other regular dental clinics regularly to remove tartar.
③ Remove the factors causing oral plaque retention, such as eliminating food impaction and filling cavities.
2. Drug therapy
For patients who are ineffective in mechanical therapy, adjuvant drugs can be considered, including systemic drugs and local drugs.
Systemic medication can not only kill the pathogenic bacteria in the periodontal pocket, but also reach the periodontal tissue and the external area of the periodontal pocket through blood, further inhibiting the invasion of bacteria and preventing the recurrence of the disease. Commonly used drugs are metronidazole, tetracycline, doxycycline, amoxicillin, spiramycin and azithromycin.
Local medication can effectively control and maintain the concentration and time of drug release, thus reducing the adverse reactions and drug resistance of systemic medication. Drugs that can be used for treatment include minocycline gel and chlorhexidine acetate solution.
3. Surgical therapy
When periodontitis is serious and simple basic treatment can't solve all the problems, surgery may be needed to help patients solve their pain. Commonly used surgical treatments include skin flap surgery, bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration and dental implantation.
4, Chinese medicine treatment
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is only an auxiliary treatment method, mainly by taking Chinese patent medicine (such as Bushen Gu Chi Pill) to improve symptoms.
5. Other treatments
For patients with loose teeth, temporary or permanent periodontal splint can be used to fix loose teeth and reduce the burden on teeth. If people with low resistance need to strengthen their own resistance, they should actively treat systemic diseases related to periodontitis.
1, brush your teeth carefully
Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes each time, and choose a toothbrush that suits your teeth. The bristles should not be too hard or too soft. Too soft will lead to poor cleaning, too hard will do some harm to our gums. Floss your teeth once a day.
2. Regular oral examination.
Regular oral examination can help us find and treat oral problems early. It is recommended to have an oral examination every six months, which can effectively prevent oral problems.
3. Eat less sugary food.
Because sugar will stay on our teeth for a while, it will promote the growth of bacteria and dental plaque. In addition, drinking carbonated drinks often will wear the enamel on our teeth, which is very harmful to our teeth.
4. Eat more foods that are good for your mouth.
We can eat more foods rich in vitamin C in our daily life. Vitamin C can protect gums and resist bacterial infections. Besides, we can eat more foods rich in calcium, which can make our teeth stronger.
In a word, periodontitis has a great influence on our oral cavity. When we find ourselves with periodontitis, we should actively take effective treatment measures to ensure oral health. Pay attention to regular review after treatment to prevent recurrence.
