Periodontitis, commonly known as pyorrhea, is an advanced stage of gum disease where infection spreads deeper into the gums and supporting bone.

It develops when plaque and tartar are not treated in time, leading to inflammation, infection, and gradual destruction of the bone that holds teeth in place.

 

Common Signs and Symptoms

• Gums pulling back (gum recession)
• Increasing gaps between teeth
• Bleeding while brushing or chewing
• Pus discharge from gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose or shifting teeth

These symptoms should not be ignored, as they indicate progressing gum disease.

 

Why is Periodontitis Serious?

Periodontitis affects not just gums but also the bone structure supporting your teeth.

• Bone loss around teeth
• Weakening of tooth support
• Increased tooth mobility
• Risk of permanent tooth loss

Without timely treatment, the condition can become irreversible.

 

Causes of Periodontitis

• Poor oral hygiene
• Untreated tartar and plaque
• Smoking or tobacco use
• Diabetes or systemic conditions
• Irregular dental visits

Early prevention plays a key role in avoiding severe gum damage.

 

How is Periodontitis Treated?

At Tathastu Dental Clinic, treatment focuses on removing infection and restoring gum health.

Treatment Options Include:

1. Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing – SRP)

• Removes tartar and bacteria from below the gum line
• Smoothens root surfaces to prevent further buildup

2. Gum Therapy

• Reduces infection and inflammation
• Helps gums reattach to teeth

3. Maintenance Care

• Regular follow-up cleanings
• Monitoring gum health to prevent recurrence

Advanced cases may require additional procedures based on severity.

 

How to Prevent Periodontitis

• Brush twice daily with proper technique
• Use floss or interdental brushes
• Rinse after meals
• Avoid tobacco products
• Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings

Early-stage gum issues (gingivitis) can be reversed if treated on time.
