Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've had sores in my mouth that just won't heal, and my teeth are also extremely painful. Is bleeding from the gums a sign of periodontitis?Doctor's answer:
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues. It is related to poor oral hygiene, excessive dental plaque and tartar, vitamin deficiencies, and other conditions. Periodontitis can lead to symptoms such as bleeding gums and loose teeth. First, it is necessary to visit the dental department of a hospital for ultrasonic scaling, which includes supragingival and subgingival curettage. After the procedure, oral administration of periodontal (Periodontal) is recommended. Daily attention to oral hygiene, regular brushing and rinsing, and periodic visits to the hospital for cleaning are also important.
