How to cure periodontitis?

The periodontium is a supporting tissue for the teeth, but in many cases it is also prone to periodontitis. For example, if you often eat spicy, greasy, and cold foods, have an irregular diet, and do not brush your teeth, you are likely to develop periodontitis. If this happens, the patient must take some measures to treat it, otherwise it will have a certain impact on chewing food.

1. Pay attention to the intake of minerals. Especially the intake and proportion of calcium, phosphorus and zinc. Zinc can resist infection and enhance healing.

2. Supplement rich high-protein diet. It can enhance the body's resistance and anti-inflammatory capabilities, and provide the raw materials necessary for repairing damaged tissues. Eat more foods rich in protein, such as soy products, eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp, etc.

3. Eat less greasy and irritating food. Eat less fried and greasy foods, as well as irritating foods such as fermented food, seafood, garlic, leeks, tobacco and alcohol, and eat less sugar and refined sugar, because sugar causes plaque formation and prevents white blood cells from killing bacteria.

4. Both excessive supply and deficiency can cause disorders in the body's nutritional metabolism. The distribution ratio between various nutrients should be appropriate. The high-quality protein in food should be slightly more than that of normal people, and an appropriate amount of fluoride should be consumed. The intake of fatty foods should not be too much.

5. Provide multiple vitamins. Especially B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and folic acid. B vitamins aid digestion and protect oral tissues; vitamin C can regulate the nutrition of periodontal tissues, promote the recovery of bleeding gums, and facilitate the recovery of periodontitis.

6. Vitamin A can prevent periodontal disease, enhance the resistance of enamel, and increase the vitality of epithelial cells in periodontal tissue. Vitamin B1, B2 and niacin are also vitamins that need to be supplemented in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. Vitamin C is related to the synthesis of collagen, as well as the function of odontoblasts and osteoblasts, and has an impact on the gingival alveolar bone and periodontal membrane.

7. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that periodontitis is caused by fire and kidney deficiency. For periodontal disease caused by fire, you should avoid heavy food and focus on clearing away fire evil. You can use mung bean soup or reed root soup. Do not use oil for frying, use less rich and strong-flavored foods, and eat more light foods such as fruits and vegetables. For periodontal disease caused by kidney deficiency, the main treatment should be to tonify the kidney.

8. You can use high-quality animal protein, eat more dairy products, shellfish, and fresh red, yellow, and green vegetables. For example, take 4 liang of fresh Amaranthus, wash it, add appropriate amount of water and boil it until it is soft, then squeeze the juice with gauze. Take one bowl of juice every day, divided into two doses. A course of treatment is five days. It has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects.

You can eat more foods that clear away heat and detoxify, such as apples and cabbage. You can also drink more mung bean soup, which is also very suitable in summer. Patients should avoid eating too much spicy and greasy food. Eating too much spicy and greasy food frequently will aggravate the symptoms of periodontitis.
