Periodontitis

Simple periodontitis refers to chronic inflammation of periodontal support tissue caused mainly by local factors. The age of onset is more common after 35 years of age, so it is also called adult periodontitis. Gingivitis often develops further. If gingivitis is not treated in time, inflammation can spread from the gums to the deep layer of periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum and become periodontitis. Because there are no obvious conscious symptoms in the early stage and it is easy to be ignored, they are often more serious when they have symptoms and they can no longer retain their teeth. Therefore, education must be strengthened to enable patients to seek early treatment and timely treatment.
