The Causes and Treatments of Pyorrhea (Part 5)

This week we are going to discuss the different treatment modalities for pyorrhea.

Pyorrhea is curable but there is a situation that a dentist may not be able to do 

something anymore. This means, the disease is no longer reversible or curable–so you need to be aware of the possibilities.
The key here is to ensure that one practices proper dental hygiene by brushing, 

flossing and using a mouthwash to decrease the number of bacteria living in your mouth and reduce the risk of pyorrhea.
Make sure to brush twice a day and do it properly. Make sure to brush properly 

to avoid oral diseases.
 Move the brush in a circular pattern and do it thoroughly but gently instead of 

roughly and shoddily. Brush at least 2-3 minutes daily and don’t forget to regularly change your toothbrush as well every 3 to 4 months.
When flossing, it is best to do it regularly to remove stuck food particles that may 

increase the presence of bacteria in the mouth. 
Of course, using a mouthwash means that you want to eliminate the bacteria 

living inside your mouth.
When there is a sign of gum bleeding or receding gum line, it would be best to 

consult your dentist. Early treatment can help successfully reverse the problem.
Visiting your dentist regularly can help prevent or detect problems before they 

become worse and the situation is no longer reversible.
Pyorrhea is caused by neglect and not maintaining proper dental hygiene 

for the most part. 
Therefore, observe proper dental hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.
