For Healthy Pink Gums and Teeth

Pyorrhoea or gum inflammation caused by bacterial infection and which results in tooth loss, can be prevented and treated
For Healthy Pink Gums and Teeth

DENTAL ISSUES

Gum-chewing inflammation can induce periodontitis, which leads to gum pockets. Plaque, tartar, and germs fill these pockets. These pockets will deepen with time, resulting in more bacteria. If you don't treat deep infections, you'll lose bone and tissue and possibly a tooth. Chronic inflammation might also overwork your immune system.

Pyorrhoea, or periodontitis, is gum inflammation. This sensation is sometimes accompanied by pus discharge. Pyorrhoea causes tooth loss in adults over 40. It loosens teeth and causes tooth loss.

Our grin undoubtedly attracts the most comments and attention, and for good reason. Any imperfection in a person's smile can weaken their self-confidence. Good dental hygiene is our responsibility to ensure healthy teeth.

Pyorrhoea is a gum infection. This happens when insufficient oral hygiene allows bacteria to proliferate. Untreated, serious infections can damage surrounding ligaments, gums, and skeletal tissues.

Pyorrhoea is caused by Pyorrhoea alveolaris.

As the situation worsens, severe bleeding and pus flow from the gums.

Different types of pyorrhoea are distinguished by variables such as:

Chronic pyorrhoea

Aggressive pyorrhoea

Necrotising pyorrhoea

Chronic pyorrhoea

Chronic pyorrhoea is the most common. Adults are usually affected, but children might be too. This persistent condition is caused by plaque build-up due to poor oral hygiene.

This disorder causes the gums and bones around the teeth to deteriorate over time. The disease's progression depends on how well the patient brushes their teeth and receives therapy.

Aggressive pyorrhoea

The aggressive form of pyorrhoea is inherited. Early adulthood or youth are peak times. Without therapy, gums and bones quickly deteriorate. Because it progresses quickly, aggressive pyorrhoea should be treated immediately. Family members who have had this sickness should take special measures.

Necrotising pyorrhoea

Necrotising pyorrhoea is the most severe kind. Necrosis or insufficient blood supply kills teeth and surrounding structures like gums and bones.

People with inadequate immunity due to HIV, cancer, immunosuppressive medicines, or malnutrition usually get this sickness.

Necrosis of the tooth and surrounding tissue generates an infection, which causes extra injury.

Symptoms

Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, and linked to the teeth. Periodontitis manifests in several ways, including:

• Puffy gums

• Red or purple gums

• Sensitive gums

• Cut-prone gums

• A pinkish-coloured toothbrush

• Spitting blood when you brush or floss.

• Your teeth and gums have pus

• Loose teeth/tooth loss

• Chewing pain

• Your teeth have gaps

• Receding gums make teeth look longer than they are

• Changes in how your teeth bite together

Causes

Plaque is a bacterial film on teeth. Plaque can cause periodontitis if it is not treated on time.

Plaque forms on teeth. Even with twice-daily brushing and daily flossing, plaque can quickly regenerate on teeth.

Plaque can turn into tartar or calculus if not removed. Tartar's bacteria make removal tough. Plaque and tartar inflict greater damage if left on teeth for too long. To remove tartar, you must get your teeth properly cleaned.

Gingivitis is caused by plaque. Gingivitis is inflammation and irritation of the gum tissue surrounding tooth crowns (gingiva). Professional therapy and good dental hygiene can reverse gingivitis.

Gum-chewing inflammation can induce periodontitis, which leads to gum pockets. Plaque, tartar, and germs fill these pockets. These pockets will deepen with time, resulting in more bacteria. If you don't treat deep infections, you'll lose bone and tissue and possibly a tooth. Chronic inflammation might also overwork your immune system.

Prevention

Periodontitis can be avoided by practising good dental hygiene from a young age.

Oral health: At least twice a day (in the morning and before bed), brush for two minutes and floss once. When you floss before brushing, you might eliminate bacteria and food particles that were displaced. Proper oral hygiene prevents the formation of microorganisms that cause periodontal disease.

Dental check-ups: Regular dental cleanings are advised every six months to a year. If you have dry lips, use certain medications, or smoke, you may require more frequent professional cleanings.

Treatment

When pyorrhoea symptoms appear, start therapy right away. In severe cases, bone grafting and prosthetic teeth may be needed.

Early pyorrhoea treatment includes:

Brushing and flossing regularly.

Regular brushing won't remove tartar from teeth if it's already there. Tartar removal requires dental instruments.

Pyorrhoea can be discovered early by routine dental visits, which improves the prognosis. Visit your dentist every six months to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Scaling and root planing can prevent and cure pyorrhoea.

Laser treatments are less invasive and painful than dental procedures for pyorrhoea.

For severe cases of pyorrheic, the only treatment option that is currently accessible is surgery.
