Hi, is that you, my dear periodontitis? Whenever we smile, our white teeth and pink gums will happily declare their intimacy with us, but we often ignore them because of this long-term relationship. Until one day, something suddenly went wrong with my teeth, and I couldn’t chew well during meals. It turns out that, unknowingly, our periodontal tissues are sick. In our country, the prevalence of periodontitis in adults is as high as over 80%, and the periodontal condition of adolescents is not optimistic either. There are many patients who are toothless due to severe periodontal disease. However, periodontal disease can obviously be actively prevented! We are together day and night, and it is even more worth cherishing. This tri-fold leaflet on periodontal disease uses concise text and cartoons to popularize periodontal disease in six sections, aiming to help the public accurately understand periodontal disease, correctly prevent and treat periodontal disease, and actively reduce the risk of related diseases. After confirming in my eyes, you are the periodontitis that I want to take care of for my whole life!
