Is periodontitis stage two serious?
Periodontitis stage two indicates that the resorption of the patient's alveolar bone has reached a certain degree, necessitating systemic periodontal treatment at an established hospital's dental department. In severe cases, periodontal surgery may also be required. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by microorganisms accumulating around the teeth, eroding the ligaments, alveolar bone, and dentin around the teeth. Stage two periodontitis indicates a certain degree of alveolar bone resorption, resulting in the loss of attached gingiva and alveolar absorption. The patient's teeth may exhibit some mobility and potential shifting. Systemic periodontal treatment at an established hospital's dental department is required, including supragingival cleaning, subgingival scaling, root planing, and, in severe cases, periodontal surgery. Therefore, it is important to maintain oral hygiene, brush your teeth morning and evening, rinse after meals, use the internationally recognized Bass method of brushing, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and eat fresh vegetables and fruits regularly.
