When suffering from periodontitis, pain can also be alleviated through massage of certain acupoints. Patients can massage their gum tissues with their fingers to relieve pain in the gums. Additionally, patients can also press on some masseter muscles below the ear, such as the cheek car point or the tiger's mouth point on both hands, which can have a certain alleviating effect. However, it is advised that patients should still specifically visit a dental hospital for treatment, as periodontitis generally requires certain treatments. For example, when patients have periodontitis, they should take some oral medications appropriately, which can effectively alleviate and control the progression of the inflammation. If a patient has periodontitis, based on the condition of the teeth, treatment for periapical periodontitis may also be necessary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek medical attention and receive targeted treatment after a clear diagnosis.
