How to treat periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is a common oral disease, mainly caused by chronic inflammation caused by bacteria invading periodontal tissue in dental plaque. If not treated in time, it may lead to tooth loosening and loss. Treatment of periodontal disease methods mainly include the following aspects: 1. Basic treatment: plaque control: through brushing, flossing, toothpicks and other tools, as well as regular tooth cleaning and other ways to remove plaque and dental calculus on the tooth surface. Supragingival scaling: Supragingival scaling refers to the use of scaling instruments to remove supragingival calculus, plaque and stains, and polish the tooth surface to delay plaque and calculus redeposition. Subgingival scaling: Subgingival scaling is a relatively fine subgingival scaler to scrape away calculus and plaque located on the root surface of the periodontal pocket. Such as gargle, cream, etc., can effectively control plaque and inflammation. Systemic use of antibacterial drugs: For severe patients, oral or injectable antibacterial drugs may be required. Surgical treatment: gingivectomy: surgical removal of overgrown gingival tissue to restore normal gum shape and function. Gingival flap surgery: On the basis of gingivectomy, further open the gums, expose the root surface, debridement and root surface planning.Bone grafting: For patients with severe alveolar bone resorption, bone transplantation and other methods can be used to increase the height and thickness of alveolar bone.4. Repair treatment: missing teeth repair: For missing teeth, repair should be carried out in time to restore masticatory function and beauty. Loose teeth fixation: For loose teeth, it can be fixed on adjacent healthy teeth by fixing devices to reduce further loosening of teeth. 5. Orthodontic treatment: For malaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can be carried out to improve the bite relationship and chewing function of teeth. 6. Maintenance treatment: Regular follow-up: Oral hygiene education: patients should master the correct brushing methods and oral hygiene knowledge, keep oral hygiene. Regular tooth cleaning: regular tooth cleaning can effectively remove plaque and dental calculus, prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease. It should be noted that periodontal disease treatment requires a long-term process, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and maintain good oral hygiene habits. In addition, for some special groups, such as pregnant women, diabetes patients, etc., special attention needs to be paid during treatment. If you suffer from periodontal disease, it is recommended to visit the stomatology department in time, and the doctor will formulate a personalized treatment plan according to your specific situation.
