Gingival bleeding is absent but periodontitis still present
Disease description:
My gums haven't bled when brushing teeth for the past two days, but my periodontitis hasn't fully healed yet—I still have red and swollen gums. What should I do for treatment?

If periodontitis has progressed to the point where the gums no longer bleed, it may indicate that the condition has been partially treated or is relatively mild. According to medical advice, medications such as Niuhuang Shangqing Pills or Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets—known for clearing heat, detoxifying, and reducing inflammation—can be taken to alleviate symptoms of dental inflammation. Additionally, frequent rinsing with saline solution can help prevent bacterial infection, and maintaining a habit of brushing teeth morning and night is essential.
