Dr. Zhang Ligong
Hello, periodontitis can be treated by addressing local irritants, as factors such as dental calculus, dental plaque, and food impaction may all contribute to its development. Pharmacological treatment—such as tetracycline-class antibiotics—is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective in inhibiting or eliminating various pathogenic bacteria. Surgical intervention is reserved for patients with more severe periodontitis symptoms. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
