What to do if periodontitis causes severe bad breath

When periodontitis is more serious, it often leads to bacterial growth, and bad breath will occur during the bacterial growth process. This is also due to food residues or infection. This is different from the bad breath caused by stomach fire. When bad breath occurs due to periodontitis, the primary disease must be treated first. The periodontitis must be actively treated. Only when the periodontitis is well cured, the bad breath phenomenon will naturally improve.

The treatment of periodontitis is divided into four stages: the first stage is the basic treatment stage, which aims to select conventional treatment methods for periodontal disease, eliminate or control clinical inflammation and bite pathogenic factors, including oral self-cleaning, removal of teeth with poor prognosis and unfavorable restoration, supragingival cleaning, subgingival scaling to remove plaque and tartar, use of antibacterial drugs to control inflammation, bite adjustment, etc. The second stage is periodontal surgery and fixation of loose teeth. The third stage is permanent restorative treatment, which is usually performed 2-3 months after surgery. The fourth stage is the review and re-treatment stage, which is conducted every six months and includes checking plaque control, health education, and X-ray examinations to further formulate a treatment plan.
