What is periodontitis and how does green tea help?
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the gums and the supporting tissues of the teeth, which can lead to tooth loss and increased risk of systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Green tea can help reduce the severity of periodontitis by preventing or reversing the loss of attachment and the formation of deep pockets around the teeth. It can also reduce plaque, gingivitis, bleeding, and periodontal pathogens.
