What to do if periodontitis bleeding is severe

There are many types of oral diseases, and the symptoms are very similar. Therefore, in order to completely solve oral diseases, everyone must start from the root and pay attention to their oral hygiene. Periodontitis is a type of oral disease. If you have mild periodontitis, you can solve it by improving your diet and oral hygiene. What should you do if periodontitis bleeding is severe? Let’s find out together.

1. What to do with periodontitis

1. Targeting local irritants

Periodontitis is a common oral disease. So how should we treat it when it occurs? We can perform supragingival cleaning or subgingival scaling, adjust the bite when necessary, eliminate food impaction and correct poor restorations.

2. Treatment of periodontal pockets

When periodontitis occurs, we will have pus discharge. When this happens, we should treat the periodontal pocket by flushing it with 1% to 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and placing 10% iodine mixture or spiramycin, metronidazole and other drug films in the pocket.

After removing local factors, shallow periodontal pockets can be cauterized with iodine phenol solution; deeper periodontal pockets require periodontal surgery to eliminate periodontitis. When the periodontal pocket reaches the root apex and the teeth are obviously loose, extraction may be considered.

3. Loose teeth fixation

Sometimes when we have periodontitis, our teeth will become loose. In this case, we should fix the loose teeth. We can use temporary or permanent periodontal splints to fix the loose teeth.

4. Treatment of periodontal abscess

When the abscess is localized, it can be incised and drained. The periodontal pockets should also be rinsed and coated with medicated film or iodine glycerin.

2. Symptoms of periodontitis

1. Bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are relatively easy to detect. Some people will find bleeding when eating hard food or brushing their teeth. In most cases, it is the bleeding gums.

Some people will have a lot of gum bleeding for no reason. This situation should be taken seriously and it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent damage to the tooth bone.

It should be noted that smoking can also cause great harm to our gums, so if possible, it is better for everyone to smoke less so that the oral cavity can be healthier.

2. Swollen and painful gums

In some places, acute inflammation of the gums may lead to abscesses, which may cause symptoms of swollen and painful gums. When the patient comes to see the doctor, he describes that there is a "big lump" on the gums, which may have just appeared or may be a recurring swelling.
