Periodontitis is a dental surrounding tissues (including gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) chronic damage, bleeding gums, overflow pus, bad breath, loose teeth, elongation, displacement and pain and other symptoms. So choose the right treatment, can effectively alleviate the suffering of periodontitis, the following referral for everyone periodontitis periodontal therapy and health care law, hoping to be helpful in patients with periodontitis.

Periodontitis causes of the disease, there are also local systemic factors. Generally speaking, poor oral hygiene, plaque and tartar accumulation, food impaction, the role of bacteria and plaque, poor dental and denture irritation or compression of the gums, are an important cause of periodontitis local causes. Sometimes, systemic factors on the occurrence and development of periodontitis also play a role, such as age, sex, genetic, endocrine, nutritional and other factors, to a certain extent, you can change the resistance and oral tissue between the symbiotic bacteria relations, so that the original local factors can not cause disease, can become pathogenic factor. Any single factor, unlikely to cause periodontitis.

Treatment of periodontitis

In the event of early treatment of periodontitis should, because the prognosis and disease severity. Periodontitis treatment with local therapy, first remove tartar above the gum (medically known as subgingival calculus), and then remove the periodontal pockets of tartar (ie subgingival calculus) and periodontal pocket curettage contains a large number of bacterial toxins lesions cementum, after these treatments, the gum swelling can subside, bleeding gums and periodontal pockets overflow pus may disappear.

Treatment of periodontitis in four phases:

The first stage is based on the treatment phase, aimed at selection of conventional periodontal treatment, removal or control inflammation and biting clinical risk factors, including oral self-cleaning, removal of poor prognosis and unfavorable repair teeth, supragingival, gingival The following scaling to remove plaque and tartar, use of antimicrobial drugs to control inflammation, biting jaw adjustment.

The second stage is periodontal surgery and loose teeth fixed.

The third stage is a permanent repair treatment, usually after 2-3 months after surgery performed.

The fourth stage of review retreatment phase, once every six months, including checking plaque control situation, health education, film examination, to further develop treatment plans.

The success of the treatment of periodontitis involves two aspects:

First, careful treatment planning and medical meticulous, exquisite treatment.

Second, patients adhere to good self-plaque control. The latter is more important than the former, or the doctor's job will be less effective, the disease will recur.

Periodontitis has brought to many people through, cold, hot, sour, sweet something to make you hurt, so patients with periodontitis treatment in addition to taking the necessary measures, routine periodontal health also need to do bit.

The five-word periodontal care law

1, in time. Before brushing your teeth after every meal, to wash food into his mouth, teeth along the direction of the accumulated residue around the tooth "rush" out, so massage gums can also play a role.

2 mention. After pushing to catch, then use a toothbrush to brush along the direction of the teeth remaining residue.

3, rinse. Will remain on the teeth in the mouth and rinse away residues, can be 2% to 5% salt water.

4, press. Use `thumb gently massage the gums food 10 to 15 times, from top to bottom by one massage to improve the blood circulation of the diseased tissue, is conducive to the rapid elimination of inflammation.

5, Ke. Buckle up and down to knock the teeth 10 to 15 times in order to exercise the root portion, play Guchi effect. Long-term adherence, periodontal disease can be controlled, healthy teeth are protected.

Proper brushing to prevent periodontitis






Periodontal disease are to blame

According to the third national oral health survey data show that China's 80% -97% of the adult population have varying degrees of periodontal disease problems, while 35-year-old to 44-year-old adult population, bleeding gums as high as 77.3% .

"The early symptoms of periodontal disease is not obvious, swollen gums, loose teeth, root exposure, etc. are likely to be periodontitis signal." Shandong Province Yang Pi-shan Dental Hospital warned that "there is a natural oral bacterial populations, if poor oral hygiene, bacteria will result in the formation of dental plaque or calculus, so that you continue to disrupt the alveolar bone. "

Second Hospital of Shandong University, dental director Yuan Kui letters that "children in dental caries germination when there may be a hazard if there caries, children will not want to chew, do not want to eat certain foods, nutrition may occur imbalance problem. "

In addition, Yang Pi-shan said, "Modern medical research shows that periodontitis and coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. have a direct link. Moreover, the risk of severe periodontitis in pregnant women, easy to preterm low birth weight and birth children."

Smokers susceptible to periodontal disease

Long with deciduous teeth from children to adults in their 30s, people of different ages may suffer from periodontal disease. "Smokers are also a high risk of periodontal disease." Yang Pi-shan pointed out that tobacco smoke and accumulation of heat generated by combustion of the product is localized irritants, making the gum and the tooth surface to increase keratosis appears brown tarry deposits accelerated plaque the formation of plaque and tartar, so it is easy to induce or aggravate the symptoms of periodontal disease.

Yang Pi-shan said, "mental stress, psychological pressure of the crowd is also susceptible to periodontal disease infestation, they engage in less physical activity than normal, less attention to oral hygiene. Additionally, periodontal disease is also affected by the impact of systemic conditions, periodontitis may affect diabetes, which in turn will increase these diseases periodontal disease. "

Brushing is very demanding

"Focus on prevention of dental caries in children and adolescents, adults have become the new focus on prevention of gum disease oral care concept." Expert tips from the following aspects:

Adhere to the "vertical brushing method"

Yang Pi-shan believes that brushing three times a day, each time to brush full three minutes; pay attention to the quality toothbrush, brush not too big, not too dense brush too hard; in brushing method, we should adhere to the "vertical brushing method," also advocated with "short horizontal brush Law" (ie brush teeth only on the tooth surface and the gap in the short distance back and forth fibrillation); tooth gap is relatively large for a person, you can use a specially designed interdental brushes, dental floss to aids.

"Brushing teeth by toothbrush friction generated by mechanical forces to remove plaque and prevent formation of dental calculus." Yuan Kui letters that children brush their teeth at night is more important, so from 1-2 years old, parents can use the finger toothbrush or toothpaste for children with gauze dipped in cleaning the teeth; wait 2-3 years old children can develop the habit of brushing their own. Also, pay attention to early signs of periodontal disease, if you brush your teeth, bleeding gums when eating phenomenon, due early hospital treatment.
