Does periodontitis last long?

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old this year and I still don't have a girlfriend. My family is very anxious, so they have exhausted all methods to arrange dates for me. Today, my aunt called me and said there is a girl who is very good—she works for a foreign-funded company, is an only child, has a good temperament, and is also beautiful. I was moved after seeing her photo. So I called her to arrange dinner tonight, but she said her teeth are uncomfortable and won't come. Hello, how long does periodontitis last?

Doctor's answer:

The duration of general periodontitis varies from person to person. Most cases may be caused by recently consuming some irritating foods. In rare cases, gum bleeding may recur. Treatment can involve taking anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications. Please follow your doctor's advice regarding specific medications. At home, you can brush your teeth with salt water and avoid chewing hard foods recently.
