Periodontitis is a major factor leading to gum recession. Since general remedies are ineffective for periodontitis, it is essential to seek professional periodontal treatment at a reputable dental hospital. Periodontitis occurs when dental plaque and tartar accumulate around the teeth, allowing bacteria to proliferate in the periodontal tissues and cause periodontal disease. It is a chronic condition that, once developed, is difficult to reverse. Therefore, if symptoms of periodontitis appear, timely basic periodontal treatment should be obtained at a qualified dental hospital.
